The Colours Of Gender

The passion, the push
The pure red determination
To be yourself
The warm orange glow of
Absolute contentment
The yellow joy of acceptance
Belonging, finding yourself
The lime green growth of being
You
Your true blue open self
The depth of who you are
The indigo lyrics that speak to your soul
That connection you feel
As you live as yourself
A spectra of colours
A range of diversity
