PRISM PRISON
I am the red of my rage
With it, I fight this cage
And I am the yellow of my fear
Through it, my path is clear
I am the orange of my greed
Your demands denied, I refuse to bleed
And I am the green of my envy
Strength I have found in these souls heavy
I am the blue of my sorrow
In spite of it, I face the morrow
I am the indigo of my mystery
I have learnt to contain the misery in history
I am the violet of my hate
This abomination stands in defiance of hate
Even as I watch my mind disintegrate
I find peace in what it could once create
I cannot see the bars in this prison
But I can feel the light split in the prism
And that is okay
It keeps the darkness at bay
The freedom I crave
It has made me brave
Not because that which did not kill me made me stronger
No, ‘tis the knowledge it will try again later
