If Happiness were a Rainbow what would the colours mean?

Orange
Yellow
Green
Indigo
Blue
Violet

R for Regrets never having any above that's why Red is at the top
O for Overseeing all the under lying problems that stand in our way
Y for Your understanding of the circumstances surrounding your own life
G is for greeting every day with a smile
I for Integrity towards yourself and others you may come in contact with
B is for Believing that anything is possible if you really put your mind to it
V is the Victory you will achieve if you stand under the rules of a Rainbow

Real Life Repeats

Down in the dumps
Ducks drop in dams
Design the due in daily dots
Documentary life dreamt as a slept dog.

Do or die
Doesn't go down
Deplete or defunct
Dim fights betrayal in doo-wop
Dancing daily in dams
Daily bread, daily living.

Right as rain
Remembering the rainfall drops
Real green relaxes under the rules
The rule of evidenced remedies
The ribs remember the rigs
Ro-setta stone coins
Real life repeats.
