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
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.
