Red
Her heart is beating out of her chest
Exploding into
Green
The life in her veins
The veins connect her to the earth
Blue
The sky and the atmosphere
They surround her, giving her a feeling of
Calm
Calm is the color yellow
Yellow is a happy color
Happiness flows through her veins, along
With contentment
She is content to grow along with the
Leaves,
To let the earth swallow her
She is one with the blazing sun of the Desert
The earth cracks, letting her in
She slips between the cracks to
Release her green
Green is jealousy
She has to release it, or it will
Consume her
Into the blackness
Black is the color of shame
Her shame runs through her veins
Consuming her
