Don't assume they're blue, child If they're not red like you For there are other colours here Like green and purple too A yellow bright like sunshine A brown like chocolate chip A grey like rainy storm-skies An orange salsa dip A violet dark as nightfall A white on mountain peaks A silver-gold of starlight A pink like blushing cheeks A fuchsia flower garden A green of grass and leaves A black as dark as void-holes A turquoise like the sea See, there are many colours here Like green and purple too So don't assume they're blue, child If they're not red like you

Red Like You
Don't assume they're blue, child If they're not red like you For there are other colours here Like green and purple too A yellow bright like sunshine A brown like chocolate chip A grey like rainy storm-skies An orange salsa dip A violet dark as nightfall A white on mountain peaks A silver-gold of starlight A pink like blushing cheeks A fuchsia flower garden A green of grass and leaves A black as dark as void-holes A turquoise like the sea See, there are many colours here Like green and purple too So don't assume they're blue, child If they're not red like you
Today, I came up with the sentence "Don't assume they're grey if they're not as bright as you". It basically summed up how I realised I often view people and, with a few minor tweaks, it eventually turned into this.
