Visible Light Poem by Dyhanara Rios

Turn away now! This is the me
I never wanted you to see.
My true colors start to show;
The ones I never wanted you to know.

I was bright but now I’m blue
And other darker color hues
Because I realize I hurt you
When I never wanted to.

I’ll never forgive myself for my display
Of ugly, untrue colors that day.

Now I’m utterly shrouded in black
Because of the words I can’t take back.
The colors in our vision fail all precision
To display the entity that’s taken over me.

Now you’ve seen my whole spectrum.
