We are all rainbows.

a journey

By Dex FrancoPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

My heart shines when I see a rainbow

Every shade in a different place

I fall in love with every color of skin

On every type of face

My heart glows with excitement

For our future, for our now

I’m in love with the simple

Im in love with the now

But it wasn’t always rainbows

At times there were gray skies

There wasn’t always laughter

At times there were cries

When I told my family

I was gay

I’d imagined they would be rainbows

And ask me to stay

Instead they were clouds

And sent me away

My heart broke and

Tear drops hit the floor

At first just a couple

And then it would pour

My heart wished for a rainbow

In the darkness it began to rain

So I soaked up the sadness

Soaked in the pain

I felt broken hearted

And devoid of love

As I look to the sky

And questioned above

In my feelings of hopelessness

I searched in the sky

For some kind of reason

Some kind of why

And just as I had given up

The rain stopped pouring

And the clouds opened up

And out came a rainbow

That took my breath away

Reminding me I belong here

And I was not alone

And as long as I had rainbows in my heart

Every place was my home

I’m in love with the rainbow

And the joy that it brings

We are all together rainbows

We are in love with everyone and everything.
