"My Rainbow"
By:Cassandra Freiborg
My life is colorful,
like a rainbow,
after a summer rain.
Red- for my bleeding heart,
for my bloodshot eyes.
Orange- for the many sunrises,
and sunsets I've slept through,
or ignored.
Yellow- for the joy others try so hard,
to instill in me each day.
For the day that I have come to fear.
Green- for the demon inside me,
secretly controlling my actions.
Blue- for my tears,
and the color of my eyes,
when I was a kid,
still so innocent.
Purple for the bruises,
that no one sees.
Brown, for the scars I hide so well.
Black-for the oncoming storm,
and the void that I've been let with,
after these seventeen years.
White-for the purity I saw in you,
and the love I gave up.
For the light at the end of that tunnel.
