True Colors of Me

The true colors of me,

Consist of a rainbow of complexity.

From the depths of darkness, into my recovery.

Transparent thoughts for the world to see.

I AM, who I AM, and I AM ok with ME.

Red streaks of surrender, leading to defeat,

Giving in to the whims of substances, in order to feel complete,

Slaying that demon, no longer a slave to an addiction, that it now obsolete.

A new horizon, soul shining, dancing to a different beat.

Tinted by the hue of richness that runs through my veins,

Magneta rays of happiness, shining through the hardest rains

I believed I could, and dealt with all those pains,

That hindered me, and kept me from controlling the reins.

Strong enough to have made it to the other side of through,

When the storm is over, blue skies remain true,

If it can change for me, surely it can for you.

Stay par for the course, do what your heart says do.

Just for today, let go of the past,

Tenacity strong enough to hold steadfast,

Even when you feel like an outcast,

Follow your dreams today, because yesterday doesn’t last.
