My parents are worried
About me.
They think I must be
Doing wrong.
They live in the dark.
They think I live in shades
Of gray.
Just as they have
And do.
No, I live in full color.
They do not know.
They can't.
That I am happiest
With her.
I must hide myself.
They are blinded
By darkness
And the shades of gray they
Live in.
They call my love wrong.
They are proud
Of me.
Of the daughter they think
They know.
They do not know me.
I live my life
In color.
In every color of
The rainbow.
As many colors as there are stars.
I only wish they could see the beauty of color.
