My Fruit Basket Of Colour

Its the loyalty and bravery that spirals through me

With my essence and beauty you would think I live in luxury

Sitting pretty on my throne

While still being honest and truthful to the bone

Black girl magic that’s the name of the game

And you best believe I didn't come to play

Its this colour that lives on within me eternal

It’s my colour no other than purple.

I may walk through school with my head up high

But i’ll tell you now that big girls like me still cry

Tranquility , placidity, serenity all around

My safe place is the beach which has never let me down

The ocean sparkles just like my rings

In moments like these I wish I had wings

The colour somehow manages to keep me intune

Will forever be the colour blue

Its the hue that decorates your face

When you see that person that holds a special place

Its what I feel when Its a warm day

Its what I feel when I know its finally the end of a school day

Its the colour that says 1000 words

1000 words where all are heard

This colour is shy as one may think

The colour that never fails to give butterflies is none other than pink

Fire, fury, and passion

Any one of these can happen

The colour you feel when you have an urge

The colour you feel when going on a deep search

The colour you feel that keeps you going

Even when you feel like slowing

Its the colour of the most ethereal sunsets

And that colour that is red

The honey butter colour of a trophy

The one with a story i'll be sure to tell in all its glory

The colour of courage and wisdom

The colour of heavens kingdom

The colour that makes me feel bright

As bright as a light with no stopping on cloud nine
