Colour me so,
so you wouldn’t judge
the colour of my skin.
Or know that
colours will wash away
on the day you’ll bathe me
and dress me in my best suit
for the world to see
who I am under my skin.
I am You.

Thank you, John! Colours can be such a limitation for humanity, we forget that once we reach our maker, we will all stand in the same line.
