The notion of a rainbow halo
circled around one's head
is grandiose,
obnoxious,
prone to causing laughter.
Yet I sat within my doctor's office
refusing pills used to stay awake
for four days straight as I died inside
and came out joyful, full of pride.
Someone tell me what to do
with the fears that disappear
into my flesh
and leave a light that shines so bright.
Rainbow light, from red to violet.
