Lillie Simpson, “Red”

Fire is burning so brightly tonight Red is anger, fury and violence. Thoughts from within are about to ignite. Red is the sun in a world of silence.

Silence makes my thoughts begin to take off My head spins around I drift into space Words coming at me I try to brush off Red is all around us, leaving no trace.

Brought up from the ground, like flowers growing Is red just a color or is it more. Red isn’t just anger, its love flowing Flowing like wind, come crashing to shore.

Contrasting emotions, love and anger. Dragging your heart deep down, like an anchor.
