Tie-Dye in July

Tie-Dye in July

Everyone has different colors inside them,
and they express them differently.

Personally, mine would be:

Red for love,
Blue for sadness,
Yellow for happiness,
Purple for dreams,
Black for pain,
Green for growth.

See, when people only see the outside,
they create theories and make a whole story
and start judging other people by their color—
not only their color,
but the story they create about who they are.

Sometimes I just wish people would get to really know a person,
so much that everyone’s colors could combine
and make a big rainbow,
so that we could all put our differences together
and make something beautiful.

Even the people judging have colors inside.

Everyone has different colors,
and they express them differently.
