i've had an obsession with color

for as long as i can remember

the perfect order of things

from red all the way to purple

a rainbow's just a rainbow

at least it is to you

but to me it's so much more

a symbol of love and pride

a rainbow drawn upon my wrist

or huge across the wall

a little sign to someone else

that they're not the only one

it's okay to be you

no matter what that means

love yourself for everything

you're perfect as you are

a bit of pride here and there

bringing us all together

a simple look exchanged

with endless love inside

one day a huge parade

making everything okay

forgetting all the hateful things

people have ever said

a day for love and happiness

a day to be accepted

the perfect day entirely

full of love and joy
