We are Born without knowing


We are Born without knowing White from Black.

Blue from Red.

Green from Yellow.

Trusting that as we Grow,

We are being Taught the right Name for them.

But I was Taught it was Blue.

You came along and told me it was Red.

Suddenly, it became as Beautiful as a Lilac Sky.

Just another girl in the messed up world we live in who loves when people put our feelings into words.
