Acceptance

Know me as Red.

It's a color quite mundane.

But look at the beauty of the red rose,

The fragrance, the texture of the petals.

Yes, red is quite nice.

Know me as red, the color of the stop sign.

Shows me patience on a hurried day.

Makes me breathe and learn my crossroads.

Yes, red is quite nice.

Know me as red, the color of my lips.

When I adorned them before coming to see you.

It makes me feel beautiful, powerful, confident.

Yes, red is quite pretty.

Know me as red, the color of my wedding dress.

Which I bought with so many dreams intertwined

With love and fervour for you. How significant

was that red dress but how insignificant our relation.

Yes, red is quite beautiful.

Know me as red, the color of blood.

Gives life to the living.

Gives strength to our bonds.

We love and care for everyone joined by it.

Yes, Red is quite awesome.

I need some Red in me, in all of us.
