You wear Red on Monday
It makes you enthusiastic, you say,
To power you through the work day.
It is not enthusiasm but aggression that I see.
Do you not realize the people
You trample and stomp on
While you flounce about your day?
You wear Orange on Tuesday
It's to boost your confidence, you say,
So I can always do my very best.
It is not confidence but ignorance I see
Ignorance of all the people you hurt
The words you proudly say as you strut about
Cause more pain than you are willing to see.
You wear Yellow on Wednesday
It keeps you focused, you say,
Your brilliant mind cannot miss a thing.
It is not focus but fear I see
Fear fills and clouds your sharp mind
Fear that even at your best
There will always be someone better than you.
You wear Green on Thursay
It gives you luck, you say,
To come out on top and win
It is not luck but envy I see
Envious of the fact that I alwasy win
You tell me good game but I see
The weakness in your eyes.
You wear Blue on Friday
Its a sign of trust, you say,
Your trustworthiness has to shine through
It is not trust but manipulation I see
Each person you come across
Your own personal pawn
A game of chess you always seem to win
You wear Indigo on Saturday
Im a visionary, you say,
I need to help others see what I see
It is not your vision but your delusions I see
Sociopathic visions of a better future
Your future
Where no one but you will come out on top
You wear Violet on Sunday
Its keeps me humble, you say,
It does no good to boast superiority
It is not humbleness but doubt I see
You will never be good enough
Thorugh all the people you push aside
No matter how much you try
I see you for who you truly are
However hard you try to hide
And though I admit
Im not the brightest
How is it that only I
Can see your true colours?
