Example:
In my car, I sat
Consumed by a pale yellow aura of nervousness
Waiting… Waiting… Waiting
The park bench not too far seemed yellow too
It clouded everything that I could see.

Then I saw it
The gray straggly hair
Overtook the yellow nerves
Gray everywhere—no escape
I knew my fate

The gray was real
It walked toward me
When it spoke,
To my surprise the words were not gray
But green sarcasm spewing like vomit
Covering the interior of the car

My stomach sinking—
White
White, the color of my face
My emotions inside
A clean slate
I could barely breath

With the turn of the wheel
The white turned to gold
And I was ready
Ready to be bold

Faster than light
A turn once again
Turned to a thump
And the world became
BLACK
