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
