The Color Violet

The Colour Violet 

Just wants to be loved… 

Like me.  

 

It believes that if it is beautiful enough 

and brings enough smiles to lips 

It will… 

Like me.  

 

The Colour Violet 

Doesn’t know pain 

Like me.  

 

But it is ignorant 

Like me. 

 

The Colour Violet  

 Believes it is loved 

No matter what. 

I know that I am not; 

But I continue holding on. 

In this way; we are different 

Yet still the same. 

Ignorance is bliss. 

But pain is an ugly reminder 

Of the evil that people harness inside.  

 

The Colour Violet knows no evil… 

But I do. 

Eventually, the pain will try to convince me 

To stop holding on.  

 

And the Colour Violet

Will hold onto hope for dear life… 

Like me.
