If stigma was a colour
what would it be?
Black, white or grey
which one do you see?
Black hides in the shadows
and never shows its face
to scared to reveal its self in case you see their face.
Grey is in between one you can barley see.
Some times you can see it
or is that only me?
White is as clear daylight
quite clearly shows itself,
unaware of the consequences
it bestows upon itself.
The colour doesn’t matter
its not what you can see,
its the impact on life
for people like me.
Lets all change the colours
lets make them bright,
send black to the darkness
back to the night.
Put grey in shadow and hide it away
don’t let it back out to have its say.
White is the hardest,
it can’t see no wrong
it thinks that its normal to sing its own song.
The lyrics it sings we don’t want to hear
fills people with hatred
and fills some with fear.
If we all speak up clearly and make them all see
bright colours are better
they set people free.
