Rainbows

Red

Orange

Yellow

Green

Blue

Indigo

Violet

These colors are everyone's rainbow.

But not mine…

Dark purple

Pink

Clear

Cream

Steel

Red

Black

Dark purple

The color of the bruise your words caused me cause

Pink

The color of the mark on my face your hand planted

Clear

The color of my tears that will not fall

Cream

The color of my pale neglected skin that hangs loosely on me

Steel

The color of the knife I dragged across my wrist

Red

The color of the blood that oozed from my wound

And black

The only color I ever see anymore…
