i try to hide the pink of my ******* but my hands are too small as one is covered the other is exposed *(is there any point trying to protect this still purple heart of mine?)* i take refuge in the bunker from wandering eyes my skin it burns like heated orange flames from their gaze my soles are busted black from running so long, so far my shoulders are browned from fighting the sun *i am looking for a corner i am looking for a hole: dark solace* as a child i imagined my maidenhood to be a pretty pure pink but now my thigh are rubbed raw and red drips down the white canvas i am so tired i wonder if the little spark of yellow youth remains hidden deep within me *maybe if i follow the tunnel inside i will find a reason to no longer hide* my struggle is coming to an end as they catch up to me i see the little green of burnt meadows it empties into the stagnant blue of the murky waters instead of giving in, i give up. into the blue-green i fall: deep deep deeper yet still; the rainbow blooms the sky is clear i am gone.

the rainbow
i try to hide the pink of my ******* but my hands are too small as one is covered the other is exposed *(is there any point trying to protect this still purple heart of mine?)* i take refuge in the bunker from wandering eyes my skin it burns like heated orange flames from their gaze my soles are busted black from running so long, so far my shoulders are browned from fighting the sun *i am looking for a corner i am looking for a hole: dark solace* as a child i imagined my maidenhood to be a pretty pure pink but now my thigh are rubbed raw and red drips down the white canvas i am so tired i wonder if the little spark of yellow youth remains hidden deep within me *maybe if i follow the tunnel inside i will find a reason to no longer hide* my struggle is coming to an end as they catch up to me i see the little green of burnt meadows it empties into the stagnant blue of the murky waters instead of giving in, i give up. into the blue-green i fall: deep deep deeper yet still; the rainbow blooms the sky is clear i am gone.
the colors of the rainbow never did seem so sad.
