The Colors Of Me

Red is the soul that shows love to all

Gold is the heart that will help you when you fall

Yellow is the sun that shines so bright

As seeing you happy is her delight

White are the scars buried deep inside

Black is the abyss that she so desperately hides

Red blood bursts inside her in many different rooms

That she has walled up and left her un-healed wounds

Black is the pain that lives inside

No one sees and she denies

It lives in the deepest depths of her soul

That’s been pierced, cut, torn and black as coal

She can’t escape this damage done

So, it gets buried, and she moves on

She refuses to let it change who she is

But deep down she feels it just as it is

Pink is the hope that she fights to feel

As Red is the love she wants to fulfill

Caring, sharing, and giving as can be

She feels sometimes like the “Giving Tree”

Silver sparks in her hair appear

As she feels she’s given all that is there

Gray is the exhaustion she feels every day

As she fights to heal, and make way

For white is the winter years that are fast approaching

She wonders if love she will ever feel encroaching

Life is short and wasted years

Have been spent with heartache and tears

She can hope for tomorrow

That she has seen the end of her sorrow

That once again at the end of her time

She might once in her lifetime

Feel the beauty of a rainbow

And know the love in the pot of gold
