You ask what colour she sees
She replies "red"
You ask me what colour I see
I see greens and purples instead
I'm not colourblind
In fact, the polar opposite
I see colours that you don't see
But to this fact you spit
That it isn't true
I am telling a lie
But to see the truth,
Look deep inside.
I have a secret power
Called tetrachromacy
So you see the world differently
To how it looks to me
When you see grass
You see green, right?
Well I see pinks and blues
And many colours bright.
You ask me what kind of colours
I can see that you cannot
But I don't know because I've
never known different than what I've got
I see multiple shades of colour
I see colours that aren't there
For example you may see black,
But I see golden brown hair.
This is why when you ask me
"what colour are my eyes"
I can't answer, because my colours
Are different than your disguise
I have blue eyes I've been told
But I see blue, pink and green
And so many people have wondered
How this could've been
Happening, why could I see
Things that they couldn't
Well I'm a tetrachromat
I see things I shouldn’t.
