True Colors Poem by Kasie Chavez

I bleed red with a great passion
The Fire inside me takes its action
Breaking the glass that cages me in
Cutting these scars I’ve had to begin
This Fire shows you my emotion’s truth
Cause my true colors spill in front of you

I bleed blue in a river so deep
Drowning my pain in an endless sleep
Water runs through my lungs so fast
Air escaping, this all cannot last
As I drown in the river I made and grew
My true colors spill in front of you

I bleed green, keeping in all I knew
And I can’t stand to be here without you
You’ve taken my all; I’m left with nothing
You’ve taken my heart, you’ve broken my wings
You took all I had and broke it in two
Yet my true colors spill in front of you

I bleed yellow with hidden sunshine
Hiding this light from my deceiving eyes
The playfulness I knew before the dark clouds
Came and destroyed everything around
While the dark clouds mask all I ever knew
My true colors spill in front of you

I bleed orange in your arms
Where I know I really belong
The embrace I felt not so long ago
I can never get it back since I’ve let you go
I wish for this back and I hope it comes true
Till then my true colors spill in front of you

I used to bleed purple, now it’s a pain
Cause I never really know if I’ll feel it again
It’s confusing my head, like it did my heart
Like trying to find the end from the start
As I try to figure out what I should do
My true colors spill in front of you

I still bleed pink, why do I still do this?
I bleed while the poison still fills your kiss
And Venus still watches but her work fails me
She guides my heart, but she fails miserably
As Venus keeps working, I realize the truth
My true colors spill in front of you

I bleed jet black with my sincere breath
As my heart plans a date for her and Death
He knows of the heart ache you left on me
Scars as souvenirs, this pain left for me
And as my heart rots, my love dies too
But my true colors spill in front of you

I bleed white, hoping you’d come through
While I bleed the rainbow, you’d see the truth
But I know if it happens, it’s all just a dream
It’s something that won’t be what it seems
So as I bleed hope and wish love to pull through
My true colors spill in front of you
