Beautiful Deception

 

You are misunderstood.

Although it is true that you come dressed in rain with thunder as your language, and every so often one look into your eyes brings anguish

You are misunderstood.

Initially, you are judged by many including myself. Shame on us for not realizing that the confusion and flames that you bring to our lives are only an illusion.

You are misunderstood.

I apologize for being so prejudice towards you. I now know that the pain and rain that you bring have to come before the rainbow that you gift us. The rainbow that consists of: The strength of red, the joy of orange, the intellect of yellow, the freshness of green, the stability of blue, the devotion of indigo, and the power of violet. All combined to create an invaluable potion. 

I appreciate you.

I thank you for not answering my cries of why, but allowing me to understand the beauty of you with my own eyes. To me, you were the one thing that I feared but needed the most. I am wise, because of you. I am no longer timid and do not limit myself. Our past together has brought you and I close. So, if you ever notice that I need a lesson from you, I embrace you with open arms. In reality you have never caused me harm.

I appreciate you.

Your name is Failure.
