TRUTH OF SHADES



I heard the colors speak with the shades of their own letting each other know that Nothing cared as much as they hold
Black and Blue had a sense of truth where they seemed pure with darkness through
White had its pinch of love it had its stain when things turned around
 Red had joy with the pain of grief
 Pink blushed and shied away.
Green had clarity with a sense of ignorance.
 I overheard the other colors too but they were kept aside as they were not accepted by the rest of us too.

About this poem
