I live life outside the lines 
free of barriers to my creativity 
colorful expression of greatness 
painted by my father

 I ooze color 
I bleed red, orange, and blue 
my skin sun-kissed yellow 
socks never matching 
shoes steady tapping

 I feel music in my bones
 I feel rhythm in my soul
 in these moments I feel free 
free to be myself 
 not constricted
confined to one idea of normalcy 

no, I am ME 

destined to stand out 
spill onto blank pages 
Aggravate perfectionist 
amuse young souls 
blue like the ocean 
white like the purity of the god I serve 

I love who I am
I love erasing barriers built before I arrived on this here earth
I enjoy making you drown in so much color your eyes widen and never shut 
because on this day I am proud 
more proud than I’ve ever been 

to exist 

to be free

 to be unapologetically me
