Yellow is her energy

It is her courage to take risks,

Her willingness to help others without wanting anything in return

It is her desire to live, to love, to get hurt, and to learn.

Purple is her dream of having a family of her own

It is the rosy cheeks and the joyous laughter of her kids

It is the lullaby she sings when she puts them to sleep,

And the warm hug from her husband returning home from work.

Green is her childhood

It is the familiar trees, buildings and highways she sees outside the airplane's window

It is the blurry memories of the forest

Where she played hide and seek in the snow.

Red is her first love

It is the butterflies she gets when she hears his voice,

Her blush cheeks and her awkward smile when their eyes meet

He is her two year's little secret.

Blue is her independence,

Her million dreams she asks the sky to keep

It is her tears when she cries herself to sleep

It is also her smile the next morning.

Brown is her violin

Who has been with her through every surge of homesickness,

Every struggle, every hardship, and every bittersweetness

In those lonely three years battle away from her family.

Grey is her parents

Who drained themselves for her education

It is her guilt seeing their exhaustion

It is their happiness she has taken away.

Black is her reflection in the mirror,

Her insecurities she tries to conceal

It is the weight they put on her shoulders

It is her self-judgment that she is never going to be good enough.

When she combines every color of light, she becomes white

White is her past - her identity

White is her present - her blessing

White is her future - her canvas full of possibilities

Paintbrushes in her hands, she is ready to create her life's painting

With every shade of colors of her dreams.
