This is Pride

I am red.

I am red like the sea.

Like the pain in my knees.

Like the way I get when I scream.

I am orange.

I am mimosas and tea.

Effervescence. Serene.

I am laughs from deep in my belly.

I am yellow.

I am sunshine and bliss.

A moment. A kiss.

There's nothing quite like this.

I am green.

I am nature's design.

Even the guck and the grime.

I stand tall as a great pine.

I am blue.

I am blue like the ocean

Calm. But waves often crash in.

An amusement ride of emotion.

I am purple.

I am purple like rain.

Royalty in my own name.

And I will never be the same.

This is Pride.
