Discolored

First I was my mom’s

Then everyone else’s

Too dark to possibly hers

I could only be someone else’s



Speaking French to her

Straight English with me

‘It will fade away with time!’

Concerned about her happiness



To pale to fully understand

Only included when curious

An attraction to both sides

Discolored by intrigued eyes



Their sayings were true

Fading with the years

Extraction of my aroma

Everyday use; simple habit



I would shift with the sun

Breezy summer companions

My tan for granted

Anticipating the shock



Warm winter acquaintances

All their fingers crossed

Hopes for stability

Comforting white vanilla essence



First I was my mom’s

Then everyone else’s

Too much everything to be theirs

Belonging to myself, nobody else’s

Here is what comes of love for ones self.
Be you fair or brown or somewhere in between.
This phrase explains the heart inside.

"First I was my mom’s
Then everyone else’s
Too much everything to be theirs
Belonging to myself, nobody else’s"

Certainly looks do not matter that much.
All that matters are the meanings from love behind words of the heart.
What matters most "jeunes un" is that you laugh beautifully.
And that you continue to dream poetically.

Peace
Dylan
