Your Coat of Many Colors

That coat of many colors that you display upon your back,

You’ve worn it really well; it serves your life’s needs,

You only let through what you want it to portray,

You shed each color as it suits you according to your needs,

I was fooled by what you represented yourself to be,

You’re a wolf in disguise in that beautiful coat,

Each color represents a side of your emotions; I’ve learnt them well,

The blue represents the playful you that only emerges when it’s to your advantage,

The yellow represents your warmth and affection, it is rarely ever seen,

The green represents your jealous and distrusting soul, as you are well aware of your unfaithfulness,

The red represents your anger which is the one you’ve almost warn to death,

The white represents purity and wellness; you are not allowed to wear that one,

And of course, let’s not forget the black, which represents just how evil you are.
