Two Tone Poem

At school I feel a dark bluish-green-
Internally bold but externally quiet,
Like a low thumping bass drum;
A mossy forest that's calm and at peace
But uneasy and impatient.
But in my own element I am a rich, earthy orange-
Warm and full of energy,
The sounds of a lively rain forest
Or dancing to a pulsing drumbeat-
Unpredictable, uninhibited, undeniably kinesthetic.
My orange is an electric exception to everyday questions.
