2016 Winner

Colors

Brown on my skin

Brown on my first love

I bleed Burgundy and Gold.

 

my soul is filled with Purple

yet I mostly wear Blue

accompanied by a touch of luminous Ice.

 

my family lives a Green lifestyle

but my father embraces a sorry new york Blue

and my siblings decided to follow his Dark path.

 

my sister loves Rubies and Pearls

but was born in the month of Sapphire

into a world that was once separated by Black and White

blinded by fallacious assumptions.

 

I strive for a tint of happiness

in this world of changing Colors.
