The colors of the rainbow appear so bright,  
After stormy weather it makes everything seem alright.
I have discovered in the years of my existence;  
We have many feelings from anger to concupiscence.
The emotions of men form the moody rainbow.
  
The first color is red denoting our passions and fears,  
Escalating, externalizing, evolving throughout the years.
The second is yellow revealing our need for joy,  
Wanting, wishing that we could have and do more.
  
Green appears symbolizing our energy and envy,  
Maneuvering, managing challenges and insecurity.
Next up, blue bringing hope and sadness,  
Satiated, sullen while navigating the madness.
  
Finally, purple revealing boldness and bruises;  
Pressing, pushing, passing through daily obstacles,  
Making life bearable when moments are detestable.
