The woeful colours of the world

In a crowd of a mundane grey,

a lone child stands like a luminescent ray,

the child refuses to move, but instead becomes tainted,

albeit, others are vibrant; they have been painted.

she smiles with pure bliss and delight,

while her altruistic features are a poignant sight.

Every momentum she has is colour, cerulean or red,

her feet are intricate, luscious hair like lead,

layered beneath is a despondent past,

the misfortunate child's joy would never last,

but to her the world is a blank and vast page,

her optimism burns, being freed from a cage,

the vagrant spreads it like a fire would ignite,

her age is a number, for she is a light.
