Behind every bright colour, hides a very dark shadow

After the rain comes a rainbow they say, But many showers of rain in my days Just simply fade away

Once a year the rainbow comes, It's there from day until dawn

My pride and honor, I celebrate But as the sunrise comes My pride and honor, They no more tolerate

It's hard being me they say, Well try being me for just one day

As we recycle our thoughts, I continue to be “gay’’ As we recycle our laws, I continue to feel hate

Yet I continue to spread love, But the love never comes back my way

How does it feel to be lost? Well try being lost on a day-to-day, Lost in your body Lost in your mind, All cause of words That do not combine

I tried to fit in, I tried to please, But those thoughts of yours Felt like a disease

When I opened my eyes I finally realised, I lost all the leftovers of myself which were left inside

This is how I wasted my life, A dark rabbit hole That swallowed my pride In that dark rabbit hole I drowned in my cries

The only way to free myself Was to survive But I didn’t have enough time

I couldn’t find the exit to this maze And I definitely couldn't change myself into your ways, So I let myself loose from the society's chains

It was easier to fly Rather than to stay It was sad that I couldn’t help The universal estate

My wings spread Like a wildfire And just like a butterfly I changed my desire I just flew so high and higher The thoughts of sadness and the physical pain Have finally retired, As I look down I aim to inspire I don't want you, to end like me Burning in that wildfire equality is ruled by luxury attire we are all equal but not treated the same Whoever tells you different Is nothing more than a liar To all those people who danced with the devil I will always Admire

So there I was Colouring the rainbow for those who have paused for those who have forgotten What their purpose was For those that were lost My bright light is your torch My bright light Will forever shine So when the rain stops And the rainbow comes Remember me Because that was my fight.
