The sky has no color
The ocean is cloudy
Your hair is not red
My clothes are not gaudy.

Your eyes are not blue
The trees all look dead
Stop signs are useless
It gets to your head.

Hearts are not pink
The sun is an old, discolored relic
The birds don't sing sweetly
Nothing is psychedelic.

Color clashes don't happen
Polka dots don't pop
This is Color Blindness
It won't ever stop.
