A little taste of synesthesia

My name is purple
Not a dark purple
Not a bright purple
Not even a very light purple
A slightly dull slightly light purple
With a hint of tranquil
And transparent
Purple used to be my favorite color 
Purple was the color of my room
And is still the color of my name
Even when I hated purple 
My name was still purple
Even when 
my favorite flower changed 
from purple pansies 
to blue Daisies 
my name was still purple

My weight is green
A darker and brighter than grass green
A darker than walnut tree leaves green 
My weight is a tropical forest green
Almost A pine tree green but a little lighter 
My weight has changed and I don't remember what a lot of them were. But that one time I road a roller coaster and barely passed the weight limit
My weight was yellow
An almost orange yellow
A awkwardly orange sunflower orange 
A faded paint kind of orange 
A yellow orange crayon kind of orange
And I got bruises on my back from that roller coaster ride because I didn't quite make it. 
And even though the bruises on my back were green 
And my weight had been somewhere between my favorite color and the color of my favorite flowers leaves earlier that morning 
My weight was then yellow
But now it is green

My age is a lime green 
A little citrusy 
But mostly a well tended garden 
The kind full of sprouts 
Where nothing has really grown yet 

My hobbies are grey
Perfect
Clean
With substance
Not a clear or white 
Without commitment
Or a restraining black 
without freedom
Just grey

My thoughts are blue
My personality is blue
A limitless sea and sky blue

Monday's are a red grey
Tuesday's are a clear blue
Wednesday is green a forest green
Thursday is a grey blue
Friday is orange 
Saturday is a brown a tan dirt brown
Sunday is yellow 

My favorite numbers used to be 6 and 21 
6 was a dull blush pink 
And 21 seemed to glow but was also a Tuesday kind of color 

Now my favorite number is 123
Because it is my weight 
Because it fulfills my OCD
And because it is my favorite shade of green

Casper was an orange kind of name 
But also a white kind of name
When you add Wyatt it became a black white and orange kind of name

Davis was an orange kind of name and Tolley was a green kind of name 
But for some reason Davis Tolley was a blue and orange kind of name

Gardner was a red kind of name
Red like the clay on a base ball field 

But Mallary will always be purple
And I'm not too fond of purple
