Color

The sun's light reflects off your face like a mirror. Staring up at it hurts your eyes, but you do it anyways.

You see bright light, but

Depending on how you look at it, 

It could be any color.

Depending on what lens you use,

It could be any shade,

But it is still the same.

 

We are all human, and it is up to us

How we look at others,

Whether we classify in colors

For we are All sisters and brothers

And surface-level skin tone shouldn't be a bother.

 

Stars come in all sizes and tones,

But all of them are stars to the bone.
