Colors That Represent ME

I’m who I am

And I can’t change that

There are six different colors

All made an impact

On my life and my family

I’ll tell you what they all mean

It’s what makes me unique

It all started when I was eighteen

The first color is purple

It represents pride and fear

It’s just a piece of my puzzle

Through hard days I persevere

The second color is blue

It means sadness and dejection

I try to turn my frown into a smile

We all have our imperfections

The third color is green

I’m friendly with a big heart

A rare heart that’s been broken

No glue can keep it from falling apart

The fourth color is yellow

I shine bright like the sun

It represents all my happiness

Fighting against the hate coming from the world’s tongue

The fifth color is orange

The warmth from knowing I’m not alone

Others share the same sexuality

Wearing chains and men’s cologne

The last color is red

Anger built up inside

Through all the hate I’ve fought through

Sometimes I want to run and hide

A girl who represents

Masculinity and femininity

It’s what makes me unique

And that’s my identity

This poem is about the flag

And all the colors that build it

I’m apart of the LGBTQ community

I get to write my own script

You want to know what make me, me

Six colors is all I need

Red, orange, and yellow

Purple, blue, and green.
