Red x Blue

Grant Hope #83

I don’t want to be red
I don’t want to be blue
I can’t seem to get these colors to mix to be something new

Royal purple
Why can’t I be both?
Would it make life too verbose?

Oh I
just want to exercise my mind
Oh I
just want to exercise my heart
Oh I
just want to have a family
I want to have a career we can all be proud of from the start

Why are these decisions complex and nuanced?
The forces of life can be so staunch
I see where I am and where I can be
working towards one or the other feels like choosing sides of me

I’d try
and I’ll try
and I’ll try once again
I may have to choose someday
for now
I’ll try
and I’ll try
and I’ll try once more
to see if life’s blessings
are all in store
