i do not rise at the crack of dawn
i'm honestly barely up before noon
so when you say i remind you of yellow
it reminds me i'm not cold
most days i wake up feeling blue
i spend my days looking green
so when you say i remind you of the color yellow
i do not know what you mean
when you kiss me, i turn bright pink
and my eyes light up whenever you speak
so when you say i remind you of yellow
i do not dare disagree
i don't want to burn you, so don't come too close
you won't understand that out here is rainy
because inside there, it is calm
do not say i remind you of the sun
i'd much rather be the breeze
cause when you say i remind you of the color yellow
it does not make me feel seen
i should like to be a bright color
and despise the grays
but when you say i remind you of yellow
why do i feel ashamed?
i am not a ball of sunshine
i am a storm, lightning and thunder
so when you say i remind you of the color yellow
i wonder, how could you be so blind
but because it is 4 pm
and the sky is clear
i let you call me sunny.
