Our colours

you see, 

i am a misshaped puzzle piece

not sure if I'll ever fit

into the standards of others

they say if you don't fit in

you are meant to stand out

 im worn down from hiding my colour

when all people do is doubt

that i am special or one of a kind

they just see different

they don't see how i cry

alone in my bed, 

because im afraid of the sight

that someone will see

curled up in a ball

i let myself fall 

into sadness without any love

that is what I've been told i deserve

the loneliness is now my friend

that comes in being misunderstood

im done with the hiding

with feeling black and white

i'll let my colours shine

and those who understand 

will meet my brightness too

we are not meant to be alone

we are meant to be with others

who bring out the beauty in us

with each of the vibrant colors

to friends near and far

that feel the same way

ill embrace you for all you are

if you promise to do the same

let's fill this black and white world

with all the colurs of our souls

it might not be peace on earth

but it will ignite ours
