Nail Polish

I paint one nail to a crimson red.
It almost looks like I have bled.

The color represents my pain
My love and infatuation
My disdain
And my strong emotion.

Then comes the coating of blue
Which gives a very different view.

The cool color should be interpreted clearly
It’s my calm demeanor
The side that is friendly
My strength and reflection in the mirror

My third nail is graced with a shade of yellow
This hue has come to be a little more mellow

This is also the color that can be very misunderstood
It can be filled with joy or cheerful
But also it could
Be lying and deceitful

Next, is my ring finger which is coated in black
The color that reminds me of Halloween and pumpkin Jack

It’s the color that’s known to mean death
But its my mystery and my formality
The side that can take ones very breath
It most of all is my mistakes and mortality

Finally, I paint my pinky nail a deep green
Which can be found all around but usually goes unseen

Growth is what this pigments shows
It can also be envy, resentment, or other emotions so bitter
But its color better flows
With everyone’s brilliant nature

All of these colors easily make up the human race,
But there are too many shades to go back and trace.

Which of these colors are true
And completely represent you?
