***

we walked towards the peak
wearing the colors we gathered

as we grew older

a shade of white courage in the darkness
a brush of turquoise pride swatched across our faces
a maroon stain where frustration and disappointment lingers
an orange splatter of sweat and tears and bitter regret

they think we are made of failures
that every color is an imperfection on our skin
that every failure stains us darker
that every foolish decision is shown in our cracked veneer
that we should let them go

move on

but they forget that

a banner of colors stands out the most
when it gets dark
