True Colours

A poem about being yourself

Take off your black suit

And let me see inside

Unbutton to the colour underneath

The colour you cover and hide

That black suit doesn’t work for you

You just blend into the crowd

They all cover their colour with that suit

How can conforming make you feel proud?

I heard that true colours are this season’s new black

Why not opt for a change

And break away from the pack?

Show me the true colour

I know is underneath

Step out of that black suit

Let your true colour breathe
