CHILDREN LOVE RAINBOWS

I would like to say, life is black and white.

But dysphoria is not even shades of grey.

I would like to express, what is on my mind,

But to be honest, I am afraid to say.

I would like to think life is red, green, and blue,

But that would be unfair on every other hue.

I would like to show how it feels to be me,

But the person inside, you will never see.

A tincture of blood pushes me out of my zone.

Another fist comes, it is an overtone.

I pick myself up, washed in the pigment of me.

A saturation of hate, like no one ever should see.

I brush myself off, confused, life goes on.

Is this love, or is this fear? How long will it go on?

My body adds a purple, my soul adds a blue.

I am a human rainbow. I was made by you.
