Brown
My hair is brown
as it spills across my pillow.

Yellow
My necklace is yellow
as it hangs down from my neck.

Orange
My anklet is orange
as I wear it where my favorite cousin tied it.

Red
My pen is red
as I hold it to write this poem.

Purple
My nails are purple
as they slowly chip away.

Blue
My blanket is blue
as it envelops me.

Green
My bracelet is green
as I try to send a message.

Brown
My eyes are brown
as they watch ink form my words.

Colors
These are the colors of me
for I am a rainbow.

Every single person isn't just one thing, inside or out. We all have layers and different components to ourselves, and that is what I'm trying to convey.
