I am black, I am white, I am all skins in between. I am young, I am old, I am each age that has been. I am scrawny, I am well-fed, I am starving for attention. I am famous, I am cryptic, I am hardly worth a mention. I am short, I am height, I am any frame or stature. I am smart, I am challenged, I am striving for a future. The color of sky is blues and grays. The color of earth is greens and brights. The color of hope is rainbows and purple. And the color of peace is people together, people together. I am able, I am weak, I am some strength, I am none. I am being, I am thought, I am all things said and done. I am born, I am died, I am dust of humble roots. I am grace, I am pain, I am labor of willed fruits. I am slain, I am free, I am bonded to my life. I am rich, I am poor, I am wealth amidst strife. The color of sky is blues and grays. The color of earth is greens and browns. The color of hope is rainbows and purple. And the color of peace is people together, people together. I am shadow, I am glory, I am hiding from my shame. I am hero, I am loser, I am yearning for a name. I am empty, I am proud, I am seeking my tomorrow. I am growing, I am fading, I am hope amid the sorrow. I am certain, I am doubtful, I am desperate for solutions. I am leader, I am student, I am fate and evolution. I am spirit, I am voice, I am every night recalled. I am chance, I am cause, I am effort blocked and walled. I am him, I am heard, I am reason without rhymes. I am past, I am nearing, I am present in all times. I am many, I am no one, I am seasoned by each being. I am me, I am you, I am all souls now to create. The color of sky is blues and grays. The color of earth is greens and browns. The color of hope is rainbows and purple. And the color of peace is people together. I am the shade of life.
