My Color
Trish Ferrier
Litrus staff member
Black, white, or brown,
Green, yellow, or blue;
Everyone has a color;
A hue to their soul.
A shade that mirrors them.
It reflects them inside.
And it gives them away.
But persuasion has its way,
And in this confusion,
I feel painted.
Painted a different color;
Your color.
You don't like mine,
You just can't stand the tint.
It’s just too bright for you.
But you won’t paint me anymore.
I’m about to change all that.
I will show my color.
And I'm going to paint it;
Splash it on the walls,
Drown out the floors,
Fling it to the ceiling,
Until I have drenched everything,
Including you.
