My brain is gray -

   the color of stormy clouds.

   of worn-down roads.

   of smeared lead.

My eyes are pink -

   filtering out what I don't want to see.

   seeing love where love does not exist.

   making red flags look normal.

My heart is yellow -

   gold to those willing to seek it.

   pyrite to those who've since left my life.

   sulfur to those testing my patience.

My guts are red -

   full of repressed rage.

   full of blood constantly reminding me I'm still alive, I'm still alive.

   full of fire, passion constantly burning.

My hands are stained rainbow -

   faded colors from the past, dripping out my fingertips.

   familiar colors I've collected from those close to me.

   filthy colors, mudded from mixing together too much.
