Humans

I am not defined by the color in your mind

not just white or black or brown…

I am the sunrise with all its glorious pinks, yellows

and orange,

my eyes see the sky, the earth, and all the creatures

living and breathing

just like me

the blues, greens, golds embrace me in a hug,

A fire rages in my soul over injustice and cruelty

the reds and purples sometimes weighing my heart

with unbearable sadness.

We are all the same, us humans,

a big rainbow of color.

We all feel and think and believe in

ever changing hues.

But I am unique -

my own kaleidoscope of wonder -

in how I live and breath,

and the difference I make,

as I walk gently through this world.
