Red -
For the blood, sweat and tears sacrificed,
Fighting the dark demons in those first days...
Orange -
Color that my blood turned
After a decade of Austin decadence,
Masquerading as an attempt at a degree...
Yellow -
Glad to be pissing clean and clear,
Despite severe damage done in that one year,
With much less toxins for organs to fear...
Green -
Always striving for more green,
I'm surprised it's not abundant
With far fewer drains that I've seen...
Blue -
Saddened, after another decade;
Because goals go unrealized,
And life still feels like a struggle...
Indigo -
I don't know?
Violet -
Feeling like royalty,
For that second decade
Still had unexpected promises fulfilled.
