Our perception of color, creates our reality

The colors we see

merely reflect who we are

to those who know us intimately

and those who watch us from afar

We see color through our language as a filter

Not every language has a word for lavender

We are all unique, in how we interact with the world

Color is subjective, not as definitive as once considered

The way we see color is unique to be sure

Where I see light orange, you may see yellow

but that wont stop me from saying hello

For I think it's grand we see things differently

It's what makes you who you are, and what makes me, ME

It would be tragic , if we saw everything the same

Diversity is essential and should never cause shame

I want to learn how you see the world

I want to show you from where I came

Let us share stories, visions and release them to swirl

So both of us can new realities unfurl

I may not see the same color you see

But I want to see you

and I want you to see me
