Alyson Malach - Colour Blind


When will you use me?
To make the picture bright
When will you use me?
Will the time be ever right?

Are you ashamed of me?
Or are you running scared
Do you really see me?
And do you actually care

I am part of you
You gave birth to me
Yet you ignore my very existence
Always refusing to see

That I am a mixture
A part of you and dad
Not ever seeing my blackness
Really makes me sad

I know deep down you love me
I know inside you care
But not recognising my mixedness
Makes your/my life hard to share

Show me some respect mum
Demonstrate your love
‘Cos when you and dad created me
I was a blessing from above

When did that all change mum
Was it when the shadows fell?
Was it when I grew darker?
Was this what made your life hell?

No need to be ashamed of me
No need to pretend
That you are not my mother
Just a child of your friend.
