Colors
December 15, 2015
The way I see it,
Everyone walks aroud with a white mask.
Some peoples masks are thinner than others,
It's easier to see their true colors.
But everyone has a different color underneath.
Everyone wants to be white; to be normal.
But honestly, no one is truly white.
Why they hide their colors is a mystery.
Each color describes a personality or feeling,
But people refuse to feel these feelings,
They insist on trying to be average.
When in reality, they all have these colors,
But are just terrified of showing them.
