If color was abstract

Color is only color

If colors described the best words .

Which hue would you use to say “I love you “

Or if I gave you everything in the world plus a canvas ,

can you paint your favorite color without using the color.

See i am just trying figure out where your mind is .

We dream to be yellow , happy and thriving.

But do you even believe in colors?

Or are all your dreams in black and white?

So often our sight is deemed by what is right .

I don’t know...maybe my skin is too loud .

Perhaps my personality can be alil too overwhelming. Yes, color is only color

Until it encounters skin

Then intimidation is the only thing the eye can grasp.

Yet despite society, purple is the only color that will ever describe me .

I am royalty baby!

Yes! Color is only color .

But i can paint an entire canvas describing every word that has ever been you .
