True Colours

By: Janiah Hines Brown

My true colours are undefined.

Deep down only I know who I truly am inside.

I don't belong under a label.

I don’t belong under a stereotype.

I was born to stand out.

I have no reason to hide.

Sometimes I doubt myself and my self worth.

We’ve all been there, I know it hurts.

My thoughts turn into melodies.

Those melodies turn into words.

Think of me as a song,

a song with a unique verse.

I make the lyrics and those lyrics make me.

I am an artist,

a beautiful masterpiece.

Take me as I am, or not at all.

With or without permission my true colours

will continue to pour out like a waterfall.

Each colour has its purpose.

Each colour compliments one another.

Who I am is enough.

Who I am is a variety of colours.
