True Colors

• Pick 10 people, 5 female and 5 male.
• Now, think of something you'd like to tell them, ask them, show them, etc. 
• Don't address it to them and don't put the "letters" in any particular order. 
• Also, no one is allowed to ask you who's who!

[I'm gong to add these one day at a time to link the songs with the entries together. (Also to think about what I'm going to write to each person!)]

Person #1:

Ever since I sat down one day, and listened to the song True Colors by Phil Collins (and/or Cyndi Lauper), I felt like I discovered a whole new feeling towards you.  I feel like I understand you a little bit more every time I hear the song.  It inspired me, almost, to be more patient with you, and to try to put myself in your shoes before I judge you, or respond to your actions.

I've learned to take in all of your subtle compliments and appreciate them wholly.  I've learned to feel flattered when you look up to me for advice.  I've learned that you really do have meanings to everything you do, and those actions shouldn't be questioned because you're human too.

You're one of the most talented and unique people I know, believe it or not, and you inspire me. You are proof that one can be content with themselves, and with living their life without depending on others.  You're not afraid to stand out, but you don't go looking to do so.

And despite what people say, or even what I say, you are a truly, unique person.  You don't go by stereotypes, no matter how much everyone wants to shove you into one particular one.  You just turn around, and prove that you don't fit into it, day after day.  And for this, I admire you. You and your true colors that are discovered newly every single day.

So, going back to the song, here's an excerpt -Heck, who am I kidding, the whole song fits you perfectly- so here's the whole song to read along with the music:

You with the sad eyes

Don't be discouraged

Though I realize

It's hard to take courage,

In a world full of people

You can lose sight of it

And the darkness, inside you

Makes you feel so small

But I see your true colours

Shining through

I see your true colours

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Just show your true colours,

True colours, ooh are beautiful like a rainbow.

Show me a smile,

Don't be unhappy, can't remember

When I last saw you laughing

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear,

Just call me up,

Cause you know I'll be there

And see your true colours

Shining through

I see your true colours

That's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colours,

True colours are beautiful,

Oh Like a rainbow

Such sad eyes,

Take courage now,

Realize

When this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

Just call me up

Because you know I'll be there

And see your true colours

Shining through

I see your true colours

That's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Just show your true colours

True colours, true colours

Are shining through

I see your true colours

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid; just let them show

Your true colours, true colours

True colours are beautiful,

So beautiful, like a rainbow...
