The Three Parts of Me

I balance my health and sanity
in equal parts,
trying to maintain harmony

With the color orange,
I live in the sunshine,
with a pale blue covering,
a pastel to shade my existence

I'm not sure what holds me up
That is the troubling part
I don't know if I'm buttressed by the past,
my family loyalty,
or some vague idea
that came to me in a previous life,
or a dream

All I know is, I'm maintaining
an equilibrium, some semblance of peace,
however teetering,
the three parts of me
are still in place,
and not yet fallen.
