Color
False to a friend
True to a enemy
You lead me down a different path
Overflowing with excitement to a boiling point
Harsh words bruising my feeling and burning my flesh
Trying to change the color of my skin without breaking it
Changing position was a course of a revolution
Inflicting a wound that can not mend
Emerge is a dynasty which is gained
And that which is loss
Fading away
Given a permanent color
