he colors of the rainbow

Seemed more simple before

Red for love

And the color of mommy’s make-up

Orange for basketball

And the pretty colors of leaves

When I had to wear my jacket

Yellow for the sun

And for lemonade during summer break

Green for the grass

And the stains it left on my knees

Blue for the giant oceans

And the color of tasty treats

Purple for the flowers in the field

And my butterfly sheets

Underneath my sparkly canopy


Then we grow

And the rainbow seems a little less friendly

Than before

Red for rage

That we must control and never show

Orange for traffic cones

That makes us late for work

Yellow for the area

That the doctor says our health is in

Green for the money

That we step on and betray others to own

Blue for the tears

That are shed

Trying to make it through another day

Purple for aristocrats

That the rest are left to envy from afar


The same beauty

Shines different lights
