The Rainbow

Violet, like the bruises you've hidden. Indigo, like the dark circles you've overwritten. Blue, like the opinions they've seen zoned. Green, like the jealousy you've known. Yellow, like the golden cage you fly in. Orange, like the red flags you've seen. Red, like paint when you bleed. Do we add colour to your life, Or do you colour ours?

A women's day & holi write. Question is, can a few days make up for centuries worth of oppression? I hope we remember the women in our lives everyday, & not just on women's day. © Megan Parson 2023
