I don’t know the author of this INCREDIBLY APT poem - but credit to them.
I looked up the word yellow the other day.
And I found so many shades of yellow that they’d been distinguished by words like gold, honey, daffodil.
I found words like fire and sand, champagne and lemon and sunbeam, and I even found a song.
Now imagine someone telling yellow that it’s just yellow.
When yellow is a sunbeam, a daffodil and fire, when yellow is a song.
Without yellow we couldn’t make orange, we couldn’t create green, and our world would be far less colourful because of it.
Yellows true colours are not limited to one thing, and neither are you.
Some days you are dark and firey and intense, some days you are rich and vibrant.
Some days you are buttercups and dandelions
Some days you are champagne and a song.
And without you, someone else’s world would be far less bright and far less beautiful.
You are you, as yellow is yellow
and the world needs you.
Because no matter what you think, you are not just you, you are so much more.
You are yellow 💛
