Infinite colors exist in this world:

Ladybug red,

Autumn leaf orange,

Glacier lily yellow,

Praying mantis green,

Mid-day July sky blue,

Amethyst geode purple,

Rocky mountain grey,

Magpie black,

Snowy owl white.

Focus specifically on the following hues:

Black, grey, white, and purple.

To most these are random and individual colors

With little meaning behind them.

However,

To some these colors are collectively significant.

They represent:

Acknowledgment,

Identity,

Community,

Peace of mind,

Pride,

Home.

Black, grey, white, and purple

Organized on a flag:

This represents those of us that identify on the asexuality spectrum.

Forever I will be proud to state:

I am ace.
