Confused Colours

So you asked me to write a poem about what makes me unique.

Yet be inspired by colours with every word i decide to speak.

Well this might be a little difficult as whats unique about me.

Is since i was a born sadly colours are one thing i cannot correctly see.

Ive learnt to live with it now and it effects my life in many little ways.

Like choosing bright pink ugg boots that i was certain were light greys.

From the green tree tops seen beyond in the distance.

Shrouded by the blue sky loosing my focus on the colours in a instance.

Where the bright blue sky begins and the lush green tree leaves stop.

These shades are just to similar and makes it impossible to even spot.

They both blend together and the green leaves and blue sky become one.

Its never really bothered me as its been this way since my life had begun.

My brother is also colour blind and so was our grandad.

I believe only males can be colour blind so thats a little sad.

I wonder what it feels like to actually see colours in their true form.

The world would be alot more vibrant my heart would start to feel warm.

From the suns shinning yellows to oceans dark blues and greens.

Seeing fields full of flowers patterns of colours would be the most wonderful dream.

Ive spent my whole life blinded from these wondrous overlooked sights.

It doesnt matter what i do i cant see them no matter my will or might.

So i do get a little upset that there's beauty in this world that i can never ever see.

But theres actually a few unique things about being colour blind that do actually benefit me.

I can spot camouflaged things without having to try at all.

They just stand out to me its not even a close call.

To styling clothes for fashion and in graphic and interior design.

A discerning eye can make a big difference and im happy to lend both of mine.

Examining varying patterns & different designs and textures.

We have this little unique gift up our sleeve we are not total defectors.

So i can try and sing a rainbow but it probably wont be 100% right.

So i will sing my own damn rainbow as my eyes see it in the light.

You have red and orange that looks exactly same as brown,

blues and violet which also look like purple,

Green and yellow but green can also look like red and blue,

Indigo and Pink which can also look like purple or blue,

Theres Browns and greens which can also look like red,

And Violet and purple which can also look like blue brown or pink.

Sooooo yeah it might not be as catchy but its the best i could really do.

I can sing a colour blind rainbow, sing a colour blind rainbow too.
