The world is full of colour
And it is gorgeous
People
Red people
Yellow people
Blue people
Mixing and mingling
Creating new colours
Green
Purple
Orange
Splashes of pink
Dashes of teal
Fuchsia
Turquoise
Indigo
Everywhere you look
There is beauty
Except at me
For I am
Grey
I am dull
Lifeless
Not even muddy brown
Dares to touch me
Nor puckish grellow
Nor faded puce
I am alone
I am
Grey
I wave at Periwinkle
Its shoulder turns to ice blue
Fire engine red fumes at the sight of
Me
Neon Green dims
At the sound of my voice
So goodbye world of colour
Goodbye world of life
World of High Lighter Yellow
Of Peach and Plum
Goodbye Burgundy
And Magenta
Hello White
Hello Black
Hello Death
I am
Grey
