Azure - A fairly light blue
——————

I was Azure, and you were Blue. I always called myself a blue, and so did you. After all, we're one and the same, born from the same blood and fallen from the same tree. I saw nothing wrong with what I said. Blue is in my blood, I am a variant of that blue. My skin a softer tone, yes. But still blue.

You told me I was wrong, that im not blue. Im too light, too soft, too different to be considered blue. That i'm better off as a shade of white or turquoise. Anything but blue. How come I cant be blue? Why can't I be the same shade as you?

How can I be blue too? How can I be blue like you?

It's impossible for me to change, I can't ever be blue. I have no right to call myself blue. Thats what my mind screams as I look in the mirror. Too light, too soft, too different to be blue. Me being blue won't even be true. Better off a white or a turquoise. Anything but blue.

My companions of white, of orange, of purple. They all call me blue. And as each time they do. A needle stabs into my spine, screaming at me for being a deceiver. I am a snake, a cheat, a faker of a color. I am not blue. I may have been raised blue, it may have been all I knew. But one look at me could tell you that I am not blue. I am Azure.

Azure, the color of a cheat, of a liar, of a deceiver, of a scam, of a faker. I tell them I am blue, and for some reason they believe me. Why do they believe me?

I asked my friend of white, if I looked like i'd blend in with the white. She laughed and pat my shoulder. You wouldn't blend in very well, whoever told you that is wrong is what she said. She looked at me and smiled. Azure you're very obviously blue, theres no doubt about it. She ruffled my head before going back to her conversation about her green. I didnt pay much attention.

Am I blue? Can I be blue? If thats what others see me as, does it make it true?

But the others of blue, the wont know me as blue would they?

I am a liar, a cheat, a faker. I am running a ruse, I am playing a scheme. Everyone has fallen for my words, everyone except those who haven't. I am Azure, I am not blue. I am Azure, I am the color of lies, not the color of the skies. I am Azure, who desperately wants to be a blue.

I am Azure, who will never be like you.

btw, this whole thing is originally abt being disconnected from ones culture n the guilt of not looking the part well enough to feel accepted. Its vague for a reason, so that its meaning can change and fit you, the readers own thoughts.
