Colors
Red is the Color of Anger
Anger, rightful
Anger, undeserved
It is seen as the brightest red
Rage, however, is different
Rage is rarely undeserved
Rage the feeling you can't use words to describe
Rage is the deepest red, the color of blood
Blue is the Color of Sorrow
Sorrow, guilt, shame
It isn't all the same
Some blues may be midnight
Others may be as light as the first ray of sun blue sky
It depends, truly, on the circumstances
Black is the Color of Depression
Hoplessness in it's purest form
"I feel empty"
Everything is dark, black as night
What can I do to make it right?
Depression is tricky it seems to go away
Then, the Black returns, poisonous to our hope
Green is the Color of Jealousy
The pang you feel when you see him with another girl
Wanting what they have
Purple is the Color of Love
The love you feel for him,
So deep and profound
Boundless and free
Yellow is the Color of Joy
Seeing your baby for the first time
Seeing a small child make a discovery about the world around them
Maybe, even, just passing that one hard test
White is the Color of Purity
Whole, unbroken, new
Unspoiled, perfect,
White is the hardest to be,
Impossible to make
A rainbow has all of these colors, and we see something beautiful
But it has no thought, no sentience
If people have the rainbow inside of them,
(Trust me they do)
Why do we call them ugly? Put them down because they are different?
Aren't we all the same?
Let the colors shine through
Brightly, and be proud you can feel
