Purple

An ode to pride

By Zack GustatPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Gaining satisfaction

By true refraction

Light passing through the prism

Leave behind your ism

In our world of vision

To see yourself is true provision

So often we hide

Behind norms we did not decide

There’s no shame

In life outside this frame

Running free and loud

Shouting to the world you are proud

Of the skin you wear

And the soul which share

This place with a diverse

And wonderful universe

Brought forth from the multiplicity

Our colors are all serendipity

No matter what else you see

True beauty is in who you choose to be

inspirational
