jaded rainbows
by Andrew S Adamsthe colors will
only slightly fade-
but a perfect rainbow
isnt so easily made.
the tones will blur and bend,
the prism will slice the light.
but you must understand,
nothing will get it quite right.
there is no faking
what has been so long in the making-
i love,
i am who i am.
but getting shot down
and getting pushed around
and getting knocked to the ground-
all of this adds up to a faded,
jaded rainbow. 04/13/2003 Author's Note: for the rainbow connection's poetry contest. Thank you to all of you who made this POTD... :)

| Posted by Rommel Cruz on 05/19/03 at 02:25 AM yeah we're all rainbows - individuals with multicolored lives, experiences and talents. but with people always putting us down, people telling us we wont amount to anything, we can lose ourselves and believe that maybe they are right - that we are no good. Congratulations on your POTD. |
