Leaking Colour

I’ve started to notice something in the UK.
Not the people —
but what they choose to see.

Sometimes it hides in tone,
and sometimes it thrives in silence.

But even when silence speaks.
Colour spills.
And sometimes it bleeds.
What you choose to see
and what you live not seeing.

When you’re around people who focus only on the grey tones,
that’s all you’ll see —
and that’s all you’ll live.

The UK feels dull
because it chooses not to see
people of colour.

And when this happens,
they too stop seeing in colour.
They look through a lens of grey —
not because they can’t see,
but because the mind can’t see.

Energy is contagious.
If you stay where colour is denied,
you start to forget it ever existed.

Value doesn’t exist in validating the external —
it was about what you choose to see
and who you choose to become.

Because those who try to validate life through the external
will one day realise —
colour, too, is external.

The world reflects what you give your attention to.
So choose to see the colour,
even when others can’t.

Always,

Zahra
