Early Stages

Acid Rainbows

Rainbows are so colourful
And seem to bring such hope

They possess such a merriment
And a promise that will hold

Rainbows are so child-like
And are so innocent

They possess an aura
That could leave one tranquil.

When I think of rainbows,
I can't help but think of you

And every time I think of you
It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

You were definitely a rainbow
Colourful and bright and beautiful

You showed such an innocence
And possessed such an energy

Your smile was so bright
And could put anyone at ease

Your childishness and goofy tricks
Would always bring a smile

There was no one else so merry
No one who'd seem like hope.

You wore your rainbow like a cloak
To hide what you truly were

And the saddest part about it all
Was that it actually worked

The innocence you wore
Shielded the most cunning deeds

So blinding was your light
I didn't realize how dark it would be

You really were a pro actor
Walking across the stage

Playing with hearts and giving a false
Of what you really were.

You remind me of those characters
Who almost all loved at first

Before later on realizing
It was the devil in angel's clothes.

But that's not too far off
After all, he was an angel

But he fell from great heights
When his true intention seeped through

And so to will you
And your acid rainbows.

I had written this one for a challenge on Action Based Growth Amino.

Some people and events aren't as great as they seem but unfortunately, we don't tend to realize this until quite some time has passed or until it's too late. It's not as simple as perspective or nor selective behaviour. It's just deception.

Have you ever met anyone who acts different than they seem? When did you realize their true intentions?

Until next time,
