I Don't Feel Blue

Blue

Is the color I'm given

Seen as a baby

Blue

I was born

I grew up

Loss of life

And I'm torn

Now I feel

blue

But not who I am inside

Just a coating that life provided

The covering of my eyes

The curtains to my soul

Keeping light from coming in

But inside

So many other colors

Were glowing then within

But since I'm

Blue

And that is how I should be

By decision of a society

With covered eyes and tainted souls

Who cannot see truly

This spectrum I keep inside

They make me close mine

So I'm asking you

To tear away yours

Keeping this light of mine

From shining through to your internal eyes

And the light of others too

Because at some point you accepted

The color that they assigned to you
