Color Blindness

 faces stare at me like a foreign object

but i guess to them

i am

surrounding me are people of no color

pale as ghosts

white as snow

uncomfortable

a little scared

i continue on

more faces

more quick glances toward the girl with color

am i just paranoid?

maybe…. but still

none of my friends seem to notice

but they all blend in with the

others

unlike me

i dont like it here

strange town… strange people

I am eager to get home

to a place

where i realize i dont appreciate the rich diversity

i no longer take for granted

lexington’s many colors

its acceptance

its safety
