The Colors of Me

What colors do you see
When you look at me?
Do you see the brown of my skin?
Can you see the shades of pink within?
When you see my lopsided chest
Do you know its because I have only one breast?
When you see the red in my eyes
Do you know how many times I've cried?
If you looked at my insides
You would see pink
Like the colors I wear outside
Do you see the greys in my hair?
Like my scars they show the years of wear and tear
So look deep inside of me
Because I want you to see
All the colors of me
