Red for the angry spirits within

The dark, wet beads that leak through your skin

The rage that flows right through your veins

The sickening thoughts stuck in your brain.

Orange for utter, raging confusion

When you just can't find the right conclusion

The feelings overcome you all at once

You fight the emotions you live amongst.

Yellow for faked laughs and false smiles

The illegitimate words go on for miles

Too bright to be real, but no one cares

Only perfection matters in their affairs.

Green for the thoughts that tear apart your brain

The storm in your chest like a rapid hurricane

The seemingly endless abyss of betrayal

As your attempts to heal never cease to fail.

Blue for the tears that pour from your eyes

They fall in a stream as you think of the lies

Happiness draining from your tired face

Missing a part you don't know how to replace.

Purple for the nightmares, visiting you often

Visions of spiders and ghosts and coffins

The fear that drives your mind insane

Wanting the calm you just can't maintain.

A rainbow that binds the demons together

They outsmart us all in their ways so clever

Pretty on the outside, with horrid hearts

We only pray they might grow apart.
