El texto:
I am a life filled with colour,
From the chocolate brown that is my skin.
I am from the sunshine yellow of my mother’s laugh,
From the red and white of my brother’s
favourite football shirt. I am from the crisp
new white pages of a book, From the miserable
grey of the street I live on. I am from green,
pink and yellow; My garden in summer
filled with flowers, From the terrifying black
of the nightmares that haunt me.
I am from the ginger orange of my buried cat,
From the blue and gold of my ever-shot school tie.
I am from the dark oak of my grandmother’s coffin,
From the golden “Aum” pendant around my neck.
I am from every pink scar etched into my body,
From the red, orange and brown of the hot curry.
I am from every identical colour of the twins I love,
From the blue and green of a hospital ward.
I am from all that has happened,
And all that will be.
