My Shade is White

Canvas Unveiled

My shade is white

The canvas unpainted

Colors yet unacquainted

.

Absence of color

freezes still my soul

I yearn to be pure

I need to be whole

.

Taking the fall

Losing my pride

Disconnected from all

Gifts and talents aside

I search for myself

far and wide

.

My shade is white

Waiting for me

Colors the necessity

Essential originality

.

Fiery blood boils

Stifling anguish surreal

Violations abound

I yearn to heal

.

My soul awaits

to give and receive

the healing colors

that belong to me

Artist freed

.

My shade is white

Luminosity lost

Must be recovered

at all cost

.

Looking up to blue sky

rainbow rays are supplied

Healing no longer denied

.

Warming orange

Soothing yellow

I unravel my pain

Softening, mellow

.

Looking down I see

earth is caressing me

Green grass, soft dew

Waiting for me

Waiting for you

.

Rusty dirt roots my feet

deep in the ground

I look in my soul

Comfort finally found

.

My shade is white

Shining diamonds

Luminous jewels

My power is love

I bring forth to unfurl

.

My soul soars free

past the darkest night

shining forth my colors

Bright like sunlight

.

I am Light Divine

giving life to the world

as I let myself shine

.

Creation belongs to me

Rainbow sovereignty

Restored to glory

I dictate my story

.

I am colors combined

All genders too

I am One and the All

and so are you

.

My shade is white

Unique, prismatic

Free to be me

Golden, fantastic

Wholly

Holy

inspirational
