Color Blind
Certain colors fit your face;
Other shades just don’t.
When I shop, I often buy
The hues that simply won’t.
The shirts I own in olive green
Make me appear quite ill.
I shouldn’t buy this tint again
And yet, I’m sure I will.
Some people look their best in black
While others need pastels.
The perfect color whispers;
The discordant one just yells.
When looking in the mirror
You should always trust your gut.
If the color doesn’t flatter,
There’s no “if” or “and” or “but.”
For each time you’d wear that garment
You’d be perfectly defined
As a prime example of a person
Likely color blind!
