Monochrome and Rainbows

I lived life monochromatically,

Trying to like girls and live as a boy.

Black and white were the colors made for me,

As I thought that was the way to have joy.

It was a jail that made others happy,

But I was lost in the dark of the void.

It took years to finally see the light

That had shone through a prism of utter truth.

I let go of the life that was my youth,

And stepped into the rainbow that shone bright.

No longer holding on the black and white,

I finally found the colors that soothed

The storm wrought within that left me uncouth.

I knew it was going to be alright.
