Red is for all the
Red is for all the lives lost due to something that can't be helped,
For the love forever stopped due to the lack thereof
For the cuts, physically, emotionally and mentally scarred
So deep they're tattooed on skin.
Orange is for the bullied, for the 'weak' and the 'weird',
The outcasts that can't seem to find a friend
The unique and misunderstood that you can't even bother with
For the brightness they seem to lack, slowly seeping into flames
Yellow is for the bright eyes shining with love
For the sun shining bright even though they're not
For the people that stand up for what's right
For those who couldn't without help from someone strong
Green is for the amount they have to suffer
For the money wasted into uncultrued bigots
The grass that's slowly turning brown without care
For the purity that this world lacks
Blue is for the tears cried, silent and alone
For the sobs pulled out from the heart of children
For the oceans lacking people who just want to get away
For the skies that offer so much freedom
Purple for the hearts crying out for affection
For the people who gather to pray
For those who can't seem to go the right way
Purple is for everyone
