Monochromatic Ol' Me

Red i feel when i disagree;
Yellow in days of shame;
Green i feel when success i see;
Blue in days of pain.
Nothing more i seem to be,
But monochromatic ol' me.

Brilliant maroon is my epitome,
When subjected to the lame;
Dull greys of discrepancy,
When there's nothing more to gain.
Nothing more i seem to be,
But monochromatic ol' me.

Orange i feel when deep in consumption,
For you are what you eat.
Black when told "you've got no gumption",
For common sense is an uncommon feat.
Nothing more i seem to be,
But monochromatic ol' me.

The same colours,
The same shades.
Black on white,
Ace of Spades;
White on black,
Barcodes paid.
The vibrance of life
Is derived
From white light's deviant strife.
Hence simply a variant life,
Monochromatic ol' me.
