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
