Part of me is basketball orange




Bouncy and athletic




Circular and bright




Teasing my fellow balls with my high bounce and control in the spotlight of the NBA.
But deep down inside all my basketball orange there’s another part,




Tear blue-clear, like a baby we they are born




Quiet tears and rain





Pretty and fearful

Silent tears dripping down faces tears of defeat
But you ask what these colors are
Simply me
