Rainbow Girl

There are tears
Streaming from my eyes
Cutting scars in my face
Because someone else
Cut me first

Words are sharper
Than people can ever imagine
They're like
Knives but their slices
Remain in your skin

I'm a rainbow child
Because I change so much
Girl, boy, in between
And because I love whoever I wish
But people want to take my rainbow away

What is your hatred of rainbows?
What is it that you can't stand about them?
Is it that pot of golden diversity
That we offer you
And is not good enough?

We are rainbow children
Whose tears tear open cuts in our faces
Because of what you said
Against 
Our gentle light
