Peace in Colour

My world, beautiful
Bright and colourful
People around me don’t understand how I can see a rainbow
A toucan, talking strangely to a crow
In a world set up for them in black and white
I feel free from the need to fight
Trapped in a box, I am finally free
Free from the cage of disharmony
I didn’t know what it was to be alive
Playing the part of another person’s strife
Then a door opened to a different world
A world where I could see my life unfold
Who I was
Who I am
Not someone else’s story
Mine, and mine alone
But in my solidarity, I found a community
Of people just like me
Finding peace in a place of the caged now free
