The Break down of Me
I am purple, a mixture of blue and red, good and bad, a contradiction.
I wonder what the world has in store for a person like me.
I hear the sound of my footsteps ahead of an elder universe that can't seem to keep up.
I see a female standing in a field of roses calm, peaceful, at home.
I want the soft rasp in my ears, speeds unknown in an endearing race, ending in a genuine warm embrace.
I am purple, a mixture of blue and red, good and bad, a contradiction.
I pretend I'm free and not a prisoner to my age, that I am not enslaved by those who are elder, nearing their own end.
I feel alone, as sad as the cliché maybe.
I need my twin in ways I can't explain.
I worry I'm not good enough, when I'm in a sea of people who act the same, becoming their own society in their differences.
I cry when my heart breaks, the pain surges and pulsates to an unearthly beat as each drop falls.
I am purple, a mixture of blue and red, good and bad, a contradiction.
I understand I'm different, a rare species nearly extinct in its own.
I believe in no one, because no one is without flaw.
I try to move forward and fight to go on into another day of sheer boredom.
I hope to be happy in a place of my own with my twin.
I am purple, a mixture of blue and red, good and bad, a contradiction.
