"you should be like Me."

you say, "i don't see colour."

"i see people for who they are."

you say, "black, brown, yellow, blue, purple... it doesn't matter to me."

"why do they need to make colour important?"

you say "why does colour matter?"

but you are full of colour.

your eyes are crimson red.

you are ablaze.

full of anger, hate, intolerance, resentment.

you are a liar.

you see colour.

I see Colour.

I advocate for truth.

Full of joy, compassion, acceptance, love.

I am ablaze.

My eyes are ruby red.

For I am full of Colour.

Colour matters.

Your Colour is important.

Black, brown, yellow, blue, purple... it matters to me.

I see people for who they are.

I see Colour.

I will never be like you.

I see Colour.

It's beautiful.
