Rainbow
Red
Blood spilling from the body
A child, only trying to cross the road
A car is coming
death predicted, inevitable
Fate
Orange
A beautiful sunset
as it sinks beneath the peaks of trees
It shows day has passed
Darkness creeps in
New life takes over
Colors change to black and grey
Evil
Yellow
An innocent daisy mixed with blood
A necessary component
To lighten up sinister red
Into the calamity of orange
A medium
Green
A reptile
Scales of green cruelty
Survival
A dragging undertow,
Can you swim?
Blue
Water
Reflected from the sky
Clear in reality
90% of the human body
The part that makes blood run
Indigo
A lighter shade of purple
Color of lilacs
Weak, frail
Dying quickly
Short lived
Violet
A lone flower
Pulling upwards from the earth
Seeing sunlight
Growth
Rainbow of life
