The colors in me

A rainbow

By Ramsey KassePublished 5 years ago 3 min read

Every shade

Reflects

A version

Of me

Every shade

Reflects

Palette schemes

Difference is

I don’t wear my colors on my chest or on my sleeve

I wear it on my skin

For its carries more texture for it to be seen

The brown worn on me

To compliment pure sophistication in my walk

Giving tones of green

Down to earth when I talk

Yet the blue sky don’t know time

I have been resisting my limits to dream this whole time

Blue base

White clouds in search for clarity

Blue case

Of white lies I learned to see

Right before the words can catch up to me

For reasons why purple compliments my neck

Worn for high vibrations to serve me best

Hold it at the palm of my hands

Pray it all goes to plan

Raise it to the planet

Neptune and all it’s highness

Responding to

Every shade

Reflecting

The real just like teal

Some things were always left sealed

Like the lips when nothing nice is about to spill

All you hear is forget it then you feel the chills

Crumbling for validation at my knees

I have been stroking black and mild leaves

To see the city for what it is

Ash grey Smoke filled buildings

Finding bold lines

In gloomy illusions

Above my color filled reality

Finding my way out of intrusion

To just sit outside

With

Every version of me

When

The only friend in me

Is in love with Barbie pink

To come to think

About the tint

I left every time I blinked

I was still all alone as the hue in the blues in me refused to sing

Every shade

Simply

Apart of

Every palette

Breaking down layers that created me

Layer by layer

As

I

Open

My

Eyes

The other side

The forest green

In my own fog

Aquamarine as clarity

Given for a guidance in the sea

All the fishes flaunting pale

Or

A marvelous scheme

Colors reminding me of a legacy

Once created and still remains to paint

Any vision for your family tree

The red apples never fall to far from its tree

Well me ?

I happen to be the bright crisps leaf

I tend to dry as it gets cold

Fly when the wind scolds

I tend to also decompose

Come back again with new pedals to throw

Rather allow my self to drown in transparency

Than to die due to lack of growth

I just never resisted

Being apart of a rainbow

Every time is has rained

I have always let it pour

Purple on my crown

You see me reign and glow

Bright and yellow

white like my halo

How ever

I’m a rainbow !

Colors meant for me the way the universe chose

Pink to my chest as a rose

Holding a quartz

Of love as a message

When there was no way out before , maybe now who knows

Out of your clothes , out of my shoes , out of my home

Loss my tint , drained as I got the hint , I’m out of my skin

Colors pours

The way my tears slip

It all pours

When the leak is with in

Now when your left with two shades

You manifest marble , as is polarity in its form to begin with

Grab your palette and grab your skin

*splat*

Don’t resist

The

Rainbow

For

Every shade is me

On a different day with a different theme

I won’t wear it on my chest or on my sleeve

Avoiding complexity in my complexion

I wear it all on my skin for all to see
