A colorful fate, my dear
I pray.
Colors bleed, my tears
Run gray.
Paint a landscape
Of fate and Faith.
Blood blue in our veins
Blue and gray like the rain.
No matter the depth or tones,
Our skin or stars glow.
Still run red,
When it is shed.
Ocean blue reflecting
Sky’s hue Deflecting
Oceans of red
Blood’s hue Perplexing
Depths of sorrow and sea.
daily monotony.
(Un)Just categorize,
Symbolise
Who
They think we are.
Who
They want us to be.
Becomes who we are
In theory.
To fit into a box
X marks the spot
Where our colors
Are buried
Beneath reality
But our Tears Reflect
clear clarity
Salt, water, and screams
Sow the stardust
That Bares the shoulds vs. the must
The Soul vs. the trust
Whose reflection we see.
Staring back at you and me.
Colors of our souls survive
If you dig deep, To sow and try
To raise them up To Recognise
How To push past survival of the fittest
And richest, to thrive.
It’s hope that breaks
The mold of Who.
The color brings me back to
You.
