We fall down and we are expected to get up
Shadows fade and light come to a stop
Find your gold at the end of the sunrise
Seek your answers from someone never wise
The glowing arc of colors in the bright blue sky
Can't tell us if one promise can complete our life
Fight for love, fight even if not knowing why
Why do you even bother now that the product is strife
the peace of solitude sometimes got me thinking
What if the world is never about everything
If promises and love can't end your sorrows
Get up and paint your own rainbows

Red, the color of love and loss
Paint your soul until nothing is left untossed
Orange, the flavor of life and hope
Try to find your worth in the endless living rope
Yellow, the feeling of happiness and perfect progress
See the beauty of them as life regresses
Green, the shade of seasons and change
The world is fleeting, that's nothing so strange
Blue, the waves of continuity and strength
Ever so dandy, don't waste anything at length
And purple, the time for beauty and seamless tomorrows
Go on, then, stand up to paint your own rainbows

Don't be like me—a sorry excuse for a failure
I stood like stone and hesitated just to make sure
I am happy, content with the way I used to be
Until I met love have I changed truly
The nights spent talking and feeling with you
Is like heaven, if you collect everything said true
We keep it all inside our reckless minds
Until the jars crack and joyful days die
Of all things that could go wrong, why me?
Why is it that everything can die beautifully?
Under the fading moonlight, the path narrows
But if it reaches you, I'll paint a thousand rainbows

I hope I taught you that love is fleeting
Sometimes, even the love felt will soon be setting
One thing I learned is that life is just beginning
So live it and never stop exploring
Go, grab the brushes and start painting
A stroke here and brush there, paint your soul unending
Never try to forget what colors meant
Always—always find beauty in every moment
Even if you fall and life doesn't get you up
Fight for your soul, rise to the very top
And until you can't know what already follows
Rise up and continue to paint your rainbows

Moving on and growing on your own is one of the hardest things to do as a human being. I am glad that I get to write this poem as an encouragement for everyone out there that is struggling with abandonment and other struggles in their life.

So yeah. Rise up and start painting your rainbows, whatever and wherever they may be.
