Colored

He lived in confusion, surrounded by adversity, yet somehow alone
Unaware of what made him feel so foreign, so forlorn
Confused by the glances they gave him, content to ignore,
Their silence tore him to pieces, so over and over he roared

"I'm colored by misunderstanding
Colored by disparity
I'm covered with a sense of hope
Because I think we're all colored to some degree"

Finally he realized what made him so different to everyone else
And its shallow insignificance only made him that much more content with himself
Silence was his only companion, faithful through it all
It made him stronger and stronger, his determination took him through it all

He said, "I'm colored by misunderstanding
Colored by disparity
I'm covered with a sense of hope
Because I think we're all colored to some degree"
