Red

Red is blood streaming down the face of a beaten girl.
Red is anger for those who have mercilessly abused us.
Red is hatred for the cowards who hide behind their taunting, cruel, words.
Red is a heart broken and left to fix itself.
Red is lips that whisper lies and make promises never intended to be kept.
Red is the slowest visible electromagnetic wavelength.
Red is burns. Words can burn the soul. Both take very long to heal.
Red is pressure to conform to society's idea of beauty.
Red is violence in the family, the world, for religious zeal, because of discrimination.
Red is warmth. Don't you miss it when your body is always cold?
Red is pain. Pain is only temporary, but it molds us like nothing else.
Red is lipstick. Look perfect. Smile.
Red is the glowing embers of someone's dying hope.
Red is the carpet where beautiful people walk. Look like them and you're beautiful too.
Red is a ribbon that says: "I am disordered. Will you please treat me like a normal human?"

The poem contains 10-15 lines with this format, and it titled as the color. Don't limit yourself to just the basic 8 colors, for a challenge get creative and do a specific shade of a color, a rainbow, or title a basic color and make each line a different shade of the color etc. Go wild!
