A Rainbow of Tragedy

Anger is red
Beautiful and deadly
It wreaks havoc
With no determined end
Passion is orange
All-consuming and blind
It drives you forward
Until the ground gives way
Content is yellow
Peaceful and bright
It lures you in
An enchanting dream
Sickness is green
Disgusting and vile
It holds you in its death grip
Fingers tightening like a noose
Hope is blue
Mirror of the sky
It keeps you afloat
Makes you soar
Indigo is fear
Irrational and deep
It pulls you back
A shadow in your mind
Pride is violet
Arrogance and ego
It chains you to the top
With silver words and golden trophies


Death is black
Dark and empty
It counts down like a bomb
An ugly truth
White is life
Pure and unadulterated
It’s a million miracles

A beautiful lie

What Other's Enjoyed

Diwali is here!

               Hi everyone! Sorry I didn't post in a long time. It's November, and in India, people are getting ready for Diwali, the sweet festival of lights. Diwali is a festival celebrated in honor of Prince Rama, his brother Laxman, and Rama's wife, Sita's return after exile. Diwali is also the festival of lights. This time, I bought clay diyas and painted them. Diyas are oil lamps. In India, people are buying sparklers, fireworks, and other kinds of crackers. Houses are cleaned, new clothes are bought, and sweets are made and bought. here are some photos of Diwali: Happy Diwali/Thanksgiving, everyone!

Insomnia

Fear We keep it to ourselves Even as it plagues us in our slumber Even when it rises with the morning sun Anger We explode with our emotions An uncontrollable reality Of what we can become Rumination Fruitless nights spent on thoughts that collide A tendency to look At the half-empty glass And you ask why I can't sleep?
