Rainbow Series: Red
Our face as we feel your embarrassment and shame
When you poke fun but don’t know our name
My heart as it beats faster and faster
The silence as you cause a disaster
The color of your targets as you better your aim
The apple you had for breakfast this morning
Our hearts when we’re in love and soaring
Your cheeks as you see us with our mate
Your eyes as you see not everyone is straight
Your words as you speak your warning
Enjoying life and finding our first love
You, spitting at us every crude word you think of
Your bullets as you batter us with hate
Our life is not one you dictate
You can’t choose who we love
The color as we stand strong and ignore the bruise
The fire inside us as we live how we choose
Your eyes as you see you have no control over us
Our hearts beating strong as we ignore you cuss
The color of our soul as we live the life we choose
