Bright and Betrayed The color of light: Warmth and brightness every summer day The sun providing us light, And making us feel alive The color of Happiness: Smiley faces on everything, Positivity in the world Meeting someone new The good parts of life The color of sickness: Poor mental health Leading to mental illness And Not being able to help your friend who’s struggling The color of betrayal: Putting your trust into someone Who was the light in your life, your happiness The person you tried to help Only for them to use it against you When you’re most vulnerable Ava Crowe ‘24
