Dreaming in Colors

** “You're so pale,” they say –

“White as snow,

Skin like porcelain.”

** But what they really say is, “you’re so simple –

Green as grass,

Malleable like clay.”

** “You’re so blushing,” they say –

“Pink as a flower,

Meek like a mouse.”

** But what they really say is, “you’re so frail –

Grey as ash,

Fragile like glass.”

** I know what they really think –

Just a girl. Pale and fragile.

Just a child. Timid and irrelevant.

** They don’t see the truth, though it’s plain as day –

Just a lady, joyful and pure at heart.

Just a woman, fierce and proud.

** They see what they want, their souls like my complexion –

Pale, plain, and fragile.

I see through their masks.

** Their lives lived between the lines –

Colors of white and black.

Greys all they can see.

** I float on waves as numerous as my shades –

Dreaming in colors they can’t see,

My life lived outside the lines.
