I wear my personality proudly. If I weren’t my true self I don’t know where I would be .

The fires of my sin that burns within matches the color of my skin tone.

I know where I belong because the lime green grass that’s half dead reminds me of home.

Me , barely living. Hiding in my closet hoping that I’d be forgiven.

Sapphire is the color of my birthstone. A brutal reminder in my mind of how I was birth wrong.

An outcast to my peers would make me pale in the face. Rushing through the hallways looking at the white on my shoelaces..

Feel the chill of disgraces. Ice cold stares from the judgements and the basics.

Browned eyed girl, blue eyed boys, red hot passion I could never avoid.

Born to be star, made to perfection, I am as legion as the colors are fluorescent.

My personal obsession is, me. I love all my personalities.
