I ask this question to you all
What is right and what is wrong?
Did we get our colors wrong?

I take a knife and cut some hearts
We label each other to tell us apart
Like you know who we really are

Pink is for the pop tarts and gay guys
But pink is really a color to share
And it takes a bold straight guy to wear that color
With the pride he has and not to care

Black is for the goths and rejects
Maybe we're saying we like the rainbow
Look at the world on a different angle
Black is a form of beauty

Yellow is for a goody two shoes
The sunflowers and teacher's pets
It could be for the happy ones
Or the ones to be happy yet

Red is for the cutter's
Crimson actually is
Please get your facts straight
Red is for a romantic even the hopeless ones
It's for the fiery flames in those eyes

These colors you see
They speak to me
We're tired of being labeled
I never said what I define them as is right
I'm just trying to shine something
My newer light

(This is another one of hers, I really like this one)
