He’s so many colors

He’s red

Like a rose

So beautiful

Yet so fragile

Like the blood

Streaming down his face

.

He’s blue

Like the clear sky

On a winter night

Unnoticed yet there

Like the bruises

He hides

.

He’s white

Like the snow

Falling from the sky

Covering the landscape

Like his soul

Pure and innocent

.

He’s brown

Like the earth

That gives us

All we need

Like the color

Warm and calming

.

He’s yellow

Like the sun

When it’s not hiding

Behind clouds

Like his spirit

Bright and energizing

.

He’s green

Like the trees

Bending in the wind

Until they crack

Like the jealousy

He feels for others

.

He’s gray

Like a darkened sky

The storm’s not there

But always close by

Like the plain walls

Of his small apartment

.

He’s black

Like a black hole

Complicated

And mysterious

Like the darkness

That surrounds him

.

He’s invisible

Like the soft breeze

Like the rain

That hits the ground

Like the boy

He is
