True Colours

What are your colours?

What are your true colours

do you wear them on your sleeve?

Do you bleed the colours of your nations flag,

or would you prefer to drop that tag.

Understanding it’s the separation,

that drove this country mad.

Do the colours of the rainbow

represent that you’re diverse,

Are you stuck between two colours

is that why you feel the hurt?

Are the colours of the rainbow

A way to keep a steady flow,

living in harmony with all we need to know.

I used to have a concept

that my colours were green and gold,

I lived with pride and passion

that my ego always held,

I would represent this great nation

with such pride deep in my soul,

Laurie Laurence was the voice

screaming for the green and gold.

That all changed slowly from inside

each day that I got old.

Understanding why I’m here,

reinvigorates my soul,

seeing things in black and white

left a constant empty hole,

what do colours even mean,

Will they help us to evolve?

All the colours of the rainbow

how do they relate to me?

How can we use these worldly wonders

to bring some positivity.

Do you feel safe and secure

are your colours of red all pure?

Can you procreate with love,

Or does the orange feel it’s stuck?

Out of balance and emotional

do you feel you’ve had enough,

Do you carry yourself around

with personal power feeling strong,

Did yellow flow through,

your solar plexus all along?

Is your heart full of love,

pumping green like textured blood

Do you speak your truth each day,

you couldn’t care what others say?

If blue was the colour of your throat,

would you spread the love

through the words you spoke?

How’s your intuition,

do you feel you’re full of wisdom?

Can you see the wisdom through your eye,

does indigo enhance your sight ?

Walking as the shining light

does that help resonate your why?

Do violet rays flow through your veins,

are you connected to this place?

Or are you living like the rest of us,

in a black and white filled space.
