What colour is she?
What colour is the world?
In her there is red
In the way she dances in ruby
In the way she loves in scarlet
In the way she yells in crimson
In the way she flusters in blush
She is red.
In her there is blue
In the way she breathes in cerulean
In the way she sings in cobalt
In the way she sleeps in midnight
In the way she cries in indigo
She is blue.
In her there is green
In the way she skips in chartreuse
In the way she cares in olive
In the way she cleans in pine
In the way she bristles in emerald
She is green.
In her there is yellow
In the way she laughs in bumblebee
In the way she cooks in butter
In the way she trusts in gold
In the way she meditates in canary
She is yellow.
In her there is white
In the way she dedicates herself
In the way she peace-keeps
In the way she stays innocent
In the way she remains naïve
She is white.
In her there is black
In the way she oppresses herself
In the way she sees herself
In the way she doubts
In the way she remains cautious
She is black.
She sees the world in colour
She sees herself in grey
What colour is she to them?
What colour do they see themselves?
