Purple.

I have always longed to change my hue

from deep dark purple

to bright baby blue.

Blue is familiar, it‘s seen all around.

Blue is the only color

that I have ever found.

Just as the sky, the stars,

and even the sea.

Blue is the color that I want to be.

Purple is too strange,

it is bold and intense.

Purple has a mystery that

just doesn’t make sense.

Still I try to shift my tone,

forcing blue tint down

to my bones.

A wish half fulfilled,

my shade changed today,

from deep dark purple

to a bleak, muddy gray.
