My Rainbow, My R.O.Y. G. B.I.V.

My Rainbow, My ROY G BIV

A Poem by Jenni Bailey

 

Red-is for the scars that reopen, and for the blood that comes out of my mouth, when words are spoken

 

Orange-is for the fire my demons dance around, and for them trying to silence my sound

 

Yellow-is for many cautionary tales my life holds because of my trauma, and for the unwanted drama

 

Green-is for the tears my green eyes shed, and for the beauty that is hidden because my green eyes turn red

 

Blue-is for the heavy sadness I feel, and for my cold being…I’m being raw and real

 

Indigo-is for what my face turns to when I’m full of laughter, and becomes of me, after

 

Violet-is for the girl on ‘’Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’’ I can identify with, and for her funny mood shift
