You have to paint the colors vibrantly
Even when they are all wrong
The red is blood not love
The orange is danger not warmth
The yellow is jaundice not the sun
The green is envy not nature
The blue is tears not the ocean
The violet is poison not regal
You have to break the cycle
Take the hue of all the pain
The blue from your shut eyes
The red from your open veins
The yellow from your skin and rotting liver
And you paint or you dance or you act or you sing or you write
You create art
You create something to remind you that
There is color in the world
There is more than an endless void of grey
And you have to paint the colors vibrantly
Because even the worst rainbow is better than a stormcloud
The blue from your shut eyes
The red from your open veins
The yellow from your skin and rotting liver
And you paint or you dance or you act or you sing or you write
You create art
You create something to remind you that
There is color in the world
There is more than an endless void of grey
And you have to paint the colors vibrantly
Because even the worst rainbow is better than a stormcloud
