I used to have a best colour

I used to have a best color

My best color was green

One day I woke up

And discovered life was but too green

And that was about all I could see

I loved other colors no doubt

But fixated I was, on being known for something
This made this color my always-obvious choice

I acquired it in all shades and all items

It was my black

It wasn’t something to be worried about

But it hindered my views and thoughts about other colors

I didn’t get to appreciate them as much

Didn’t get to love them enough
Enough to fill my life with items in their shades and tones

I took a stand and thought to just try

And if I missed green so much

I could always run back to it

For it was my comfort zone
My feel good place

The decision to try

Has freed my life

Now I love all kinds of colors

And I see and observe combinations that others don’t
Now I'm aware

I’m now willing to try them all

I have so much fun in their embrace
The scales are fallen
My heart is more open
I'm receptive

Having too many restrictions shields us from truly living

I was blind but now I see
Tomorrow when I’m asked “what is your best color?”

I’ll say “I used to have a best color"

"My best color was green”
