Does the colour green intimidate you? 

How about the colour blue?  

It seems the only colour you can tolerate

is red.

what's so great about the colour red?

If you change your hair red it makes it hard for you to style, 

If  you try to washout the red stained on your hands,

 that colour lingers for a while, 

 You allow it to deceive your eyes with its false sense of security, 

the empty promises, followed up with a pinch of sincerity,

What's so great about the colour red  

Is it the limitless ideas you  fantasize about creating?

Or maybe it's the dopamine it gives you that can be quite stimulating.

That is nothing more then an illusion,

a tactic to trick you,

 and to throw you into confusion,

to keep you loyal as a dog and stick to it like glue.

The real red is nothing how you imagined,

Selfish, Harsh, Aggressive and petrifying,

feeling lied to and mislead feels mortifying.

so let me as you once more,

does the colour green intimidate you,

and as for the colour Red,

well, 

 I only wish you knew.
