Green Sheep

• Artist: DeadBunniis
• Description: This is a poem I recently dug out of my archives. It describes how I used to be teased because I was a "weirdo". I was really unhappy, but my friends and family helped me pull through. I wrote this afterwards, reflecting on how I was a green sheep in that everyone else thought in black and white and I saw in colour.
  So here it is. Enjoy.

I am a greenest sheep.
The green sheep of the flock.
I have the youngest fleece,
I'm the new sheep on the block.

The others laugh and tease me,
They say I have no right
To be different, to be special,
To be coloured, to be bright.

But my friends think that I'm quite good
At everything I do.
They're the ones who understand my
Different point of view.

I dream in technicolour,
Unlike the whites and blacks,
Who only think in colours
That they wear upon their backs.

So if anybody says you're weird,
Or different, or strange,
Remember that the greenest sheep
Should never try to change

Because green sheep are interesting,
Most interesting by far.
For, like picture they are wonderful
The colour that they are.
