Which Color Am I? (Know Your Color)

Rating: 5.0


which color am i lord?
answer me and feel this void
my color comes with so many shades
and make it difficult to choose
i am black
i am brown
i am the darker shade of white
i am coffee color
i am chocolate brown
which color am i lord?
do i have to be black because everyone says im black
cant i just go back and choose a color
i know the color of my skin
its the color that cracks up with laughter
when a new day begins
my color has carried the world since the first evening
my color has carried the world since the dawn of time
my color is for every occasion
the laugh of my color through the night creates a brand new day
my color is black and its back
thank you lord for making me black

Human minds are colorless. If they will, they can spread true joy to all humanity.

If we were stripped of our skin and beliefs we'd all b the same. You shouldn't reject your color or let it upset you. Black white, brown, red or blue it doesn't matter. Great poem, it was touching. Keep writing: -)

Excellent! That's the colour of Ebony, Elephant, Soot and more strong things? And I dedicate my poem 'Colour of my dream' to you.

We should be the color of our (hands') palm; for when they are raised to God, they all look the same. BTW - nice write.
