I’ve always liked the color yellow.

which is why

I’d always lighten up

at the sight of my pretty yellow sunflowers

basking in rays of sunshine,

a bright sentiment 

that makes me feel complete

and happy.

 

But what is 

this empty feeling in my chest?

Why won’t the sun shine 

on my garden anymore?

My precious flowers sit dull and lifeless

under a cloud-filled sky.

Darkness is now all they can see.

 

My heart aches for their longing

to touch light once again.

Yet soon did I realize

that perhaps these rain clouds 

were always meant to be.

 

I never was happy.

I was never complete.

This bittersweet mix of yellow and blue,

The sunflowers and the rain together,

all along,

it has always been me.
