I glance out the window
And see that it's autumn's turn to reign.
Reign she does, and she decorates her kingdom with
Her favorite palette shades:
Auburn, blush, gold, persimmon, lemon,
All spun together to form a breathtaking view.
Autumn turns the trees
That hide behind a ubiquitous, universal, uninteresting green spectrum
When that shows what beauties they are when their true colors shine through
If Autumn can erase the masks of pressure from trees
If Autumn can persuade them to give up their societal conformities
If Autumn proves that they're more beautiful when they step out of society's mold
Then shouldn't we have the courage to break it too and be, not green, but gold?
Be scarlet, be gold, be lemon, be amber
Be ember, be lime, anything but your typical green
Be any color or shade you want to be
Just be the best shade of it you've ever seen.
Take off the green that society forces on you
Wear your own shade of unique––just wear it proud.
You're not alone. So be different, because different is AWESOME!!
