what color am i
A wave of blue, they said
A wave of red, was a reply
Black fists raised high in pride
White priviledge
Brown tries
So many colors filled with emotion
so, what color am i?
i am blue when filled with sorrow
red fills my face when angry
blackness fills my eyes when asleep
white surrounds the color of the eye
brown is my skin when laboring under a hot sun...
It matters not what color others call me
when the yellow stain of piss falls from racist lips
covering all with temporary warmth
and left cold as the reality of your world settles in.
