What Color am I?
May 9, 2018
Sometimes, I am a blueberry blue—
serene and sincere.
Like the pristine shell of a robin’s egg:
waiting to be cracked.
But once opened, I can be raspberry red—
full of rage and rancor.
Engulfed in the flames of society:
never enough to please.
But why can’t I be a plum purple?—
with intent and independence.
A blooming lilac flower in spring:
a perfect mix between the two.
