Rainbows

Blue, Green, Red and yellow Make the colors of a rainbow But this can only be seen After the rain goes So for now there’s only lightning bolts and rainstorms Stone grey clouds cover the skies Salty tears blur my eyes As crackling of thunder muffle my cries As I dwell in hurt The rain becomes bullets, piercing the earth My blessing and curse So for answers I search In order to rebuild, I had to destruct So everything that ever was Floats away within this flood Past memories that hunt me Non-believers who taunt me Had to be drowned out, before they could stunt me So as my last tear dries The earth is revived And from behind the clouds, the sun comes out to shine At last I can show my true colors Blue, green, red, yellow, and all the others So don’t ask where my pain goes Just look for me, rainbows
