Bruised Ego
Stage 1 splashing colours of pink and red.
An impacting blow, I'm holding my head.
Blue and purple, I'm now at Stage 2.
The swelling has started, all because of you!
Pale green is Stage 3, the healing has begun.
Maybe you should get prepared to run!
Stage 4 is yellow with a hint of brown hue.
My bruise is now fading as is my memory of you!
