Flipped (An Original Poem)

Please don't hate me

For the way I see the colors in the sky

Don't despise me 

For the mark that's on my chest

Nor for the book

I have written on my heart

Extremely lazy

Do the tears fall that I cry

It is not easy

Being me but I do my best

So quit your look

Before the colors start 

To run down

Run down

Run down

Until it's all brown

Swallow your pride

I'll swallow mine

Let my truth be my truth

I'll let yours be thine

Believe me when I say 

"I love you"

Trust me when I say

"I'd give my life for you"

Greater love has never

Been known

Been shown

Grace, no sweeter sound

My truth is denied

Where once t'was thine

Keep your "I do"

Drink all the wine

Dance all night and ever

Happy

Please be

Until we all hit the ground

This nightingale sings

Of a freedom still rings

From the very first page

Until a day and an age

My mark is flipped

And my wings are clipped

And my liberty is dipped

In tar
