Inspired by Shel Silverstein’s Masks
She was rainbow.
So was she.
But their lives remained just-so.
Because no-one else
Would ever agree.
Because no-one else.
Would let them be.
One stuck in a life
That just wasn’t her’s.
One stuck as a wife
A life with no transfers.
Because no-one else
Would let them be.
They each waited their youth
To be beloved.
But since they never said
They remained unloved.
