Story of the 7 colors they denied me.
by Lakshita Singh

I am the words from a different draft,
Lies folded like a deceitful swan being craft.
I am adorned with jewels of cold, snowy memories,
They decorate 7 of my personalities.
7 sins birthed me,
7 sisters tried to set me free.
7 sisters paved 7 imperfect paths my way,
I didn't know what to do,
so I painted them by day.
In agony, they drowned me in 7 blue oceans trying to get the color off of me,
It wasn't easy, so they burnt me in 7 pyres.
Praying away my Gay, they sang an angelic choir.
Unbent, unbroken, unhurt, unlearnt,
Unlearnt, the 7 secrets they told me.
Me, a mare result of 7 catastrophes.
On the 7th day of my exile,
My 7 chakras aligned.
Found 7 elements, 7 truths, 7 of my realities.
So I wear them on my sleeve,
The colors of violent, Indigo, Blue and green, yellow, orange, red.
Long gone are the dreadful blues of my soul,
Shed 7 layers of lies off of my skin.
I dance with my colors,
Living my endless summer.
