Painting the depths of your Soul

When your born, all whole and pure,
You're a clean slate, a blank page.
As the years unfold, your colors begin to show.
You learn all about yourself, and who you really are.
You learn your souls true colors.

Red, is love.
Splash some red onto your heart.
Its always a great place to start.
The love you feel from family, friends, and romance.
Love will carry you through your life,
As long as you have a thick coat of red, your soul is secure.

Orange, is friendship.
Throw in some Orange, but not too much.
Orange is rare, as true friends seem to be.
Don't misjudge orange and put too much, in time it may fade away.
Friends brighten our lives and keep our souls content.

Yellow, is happiness,
Toss in tons of yellow,
You can't ever have enough happiness.
Yellow will brighten even the darkest of days.
Happiness carries your soul through all pain.
It gives your strength to be yourself, it brings you to smile.

Blue, is sadness.
Use it sparingly, not too much, not too little.
We all have some blue in our hearts, some more then others.
After time the blue will fade and heal, but we never forget that its there.
Sometimes blue tricks us into believing its out only color, don't listen.

Green, is jealousy.
Green is the color of envy, try not to use too much.
Some let it possess their heart, until it seeps all over their canvas.
At times where you're feeling green, remember the power of red.
It makes green seem so insignificant.

Lavender, is relaxation.
Put in heaps of lavender, you need this color always.
It keeps your mind clear and your nerves calm.
It can carry you through the most stressful of days.
Sometimes we forget how important lavender truly is,
Never forget relaxation is medicine for your soul.

Black, is anger.
Try your best to leave black out of your heart and off your masterpiece.
It's rage can suck you in, making your colors disappear.
It has the ability to overpower you, very easily.
It knows how to make you think you have no red, orange, or even yellow.
It takes over your heart and soul.
Don't let that happen.

Now we know our hearts true colors,
And how it effects our souls.
We must remember how important it is, to let our colors flow together.
Don't tend to one more then another, for each one helps make us whole.
Remember each day, your thoughts are a paintbrush,
painting the depths of your soul.
