an angel has white wings because they have not been tainted by the world's colors yet.
they keep their chins held high, hand in hand in a long, unbreakable chain.
red for lust
orange for gossip
yellow for arrogance
green for jealousy
blue for depression
purple for rage
black for hatred
brown for gluttony
pink for self-consciousness
grey for hopelessness
and angels one by one become doused
and splattered
with all colors that aren't white
all different combinations
some with just one
others a rainbow
until the chain collapses
proving to be breakable
and the ones still white
grip tight to their friends and family
shaken and mortified
"protect the angels with white wings" i say proudly as my wings drip with green and blue and pink and grey.
the colors i struggle against the most.
"we couldn't make it
but maybe they can."
