“At times all I can see is this yellow wall. My day is sour & there goes this yellow wall reminding me of lemons. Hmmm lemons! Oh yeah that reminds me of something...my down point in life, I hate the color yellow for all it brings to me is tears & sorrow. But deep down in my soul, I know I can turn yellow to gold. For I have dignity and worth living, my confidence, motivation and sense of humor, to bring me to what I've destined for, destined for love, for knowledge, for power, every minute and every hour. Then I lift my head and wipe away my tears, so here I'm pondering...what's next?”
