Colors
by Beau Cameron
When you feel red-
Pit in your stomach boiling over,
Hands tight, jaw clenched,
Nerves stinging and ready to strike
Red-
Take a deep breath.
When you feel green-
Snakes curling in your gut
Traveling up your throat
In wicked words
Green-
Talk it out.
When you feel yellow-
Ice coating your spine,
Time slows, heart stops,
Teeth clatter and oh my god this is it
Yellow-
Remember to be strong.
When you feel blue-
Well,
Just don’t.
