I Live In Shades Of Blue Poem by Carlton Briganza

Feeling blue, it can't be true,
Oh, how I miss you.
The world around me is bright and yellow,
yet I feel so mellow.
Everyone seems so happy and I haven't got a clue,
If I have no reason to be sad, Why am I so blue?

I wish I could be red,
or green or pink or yellow too,
Why Oh why must I be blue.

If I could pick a colour,
Maybe i'd pick white.
So pure and so true,
Of all the colors out there, why'd I be blue.

I could even pick pink,
Happy, bubbly, cheerful and gay.
Why pick blue and spoil my day?

I could've been the red to your rose
Or black to the mole on your nose.
Better still, the pink to your tutu,
Why oh why must I be blue? ?

I miss you,
It causes distress, more than I can express.
If only you knew,
Without you, I live in shades of blue.
