Colours of the Rainbow

In this colourful, magical world,
 7 billion people on earth, 
 I walk around them...
 I see smiles,
 but behind them I know there's hurt.

 Sometimes, people are really mean,
 Trust me everywhere I go, I've seen,
 whether it's an old man or woman,
 or it's a middle-aged man or woman,
 or even teens.

 You're beautiful, special and unique,
 don't let words make you feel like a freak.

 Just forgive and smile for real, 
 instead of going black or white,
 go to red, orange, yellow or blue,
 there's also green and purple too!

 wherever you are,
 whatever you do,
 know those colours, in your heart,
 you should keep,
 even in your sleep,
 dream...
 about the colours of the rainbow.
