Paint

Some people view the world in black and white. Good and bad. Right and wrong.

They coat our differences, our uniqueness, our individuality, with layers of paint to cover up the things that make us who we are.

Their paint is black. Black as night: still, unmoving, unchanging. A single color everyone and everything is demanded to be.

But no matter how hard they try, no matter how much paint they use. Each and every time our true colors will shine through the layers of dark paint.

We will rise. We will fight back with our own mixture of paint, colors as vibrant as the rainbow.

Created from the courage of the leaders, the pain of the victims, the determination of the supporters, the rage of the people.

Our paint will continue to shine and proclaim, bold and strong:

We will fight.
