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
