The veil that masks my reflection is lifted only to reveal my true colors,
Blue, purple, green, yellow, orange then red,
I walk along a road,
After a crowd,
Afraid of what people will think because I was painted differently,
A canvas that was filled with a vibrancy that people didn't quite understand,
They were left confused and astonished,
Some grew infuriated as if a bull taunted them with the red flags of rebellion,
I cowered,
Not sure of how to respond,
Overwhelmed with emotions that no one else could possibly understand.
As I remained there standing,
Hateful words charged at me,
I continued walking with all that I had left,
Oblivious to the reasoning behind such cruelty,
An enigma so complex,
That the only solution were parades and movements,
'Paint a bigger picture, open your mind, '
'Put yourself in our shoes!' And you will have...
Diminished Perplexity.
