Color


What color am I?

The color of my skin is supposed to define 

My color is my barrier 

What color do I have to be to be intellegent?

What color do I have to be to be beautiful?

Color defines our emotions happiness, sadness, envy, jealousy

What color is my emoution when I'm confused?

What color am I when I'm hurt? 

Color is what inspires us 

What color is love?

What color is power?

Color is not suppose to matter but it does to many

Color defines the cage around us, so why have color? 

HOW DO YOU BREAK THE COLORED CAGE? 

I am beautiful, intelegent, honest, hurt, happy jealous, confused for I am many things

What color am I then?
