perfectly green

i don't understand why people say sadness is the color blue
and happiness is yellow
and disgust is green
just like red is anger
and pink is love
how purple is fear
for me, green is happiness
and i find comfort in blue
i wonder if that means i find comfort in sadness
maybe according to everyone else,
my happiness is disgust
we all see different colors
just like we feel different emotions
and if that means my happiness is disgust
and my comfort is sadness
then i am perfectly green
