all things black and rainbow

How amazing that you get to be color absorber and colors

Both promise land seeker and promise

Feared and sought after

Struggle and after the rainstorm

Simultaneously death and rebirth

Always somewhere no one intended you to be

Stunning how you blend in like oil on the asphalt but if looked at correctly you're shining every color in there

Funny how even when you do nothing people point you out

Strange how the never seem to want all of you

They never rejoice over the darkness of your clouds even though you're the bringer of colors

When you choose to shine they'll have no choice but to know that you are everything
