Author's Note: It doesn't fit the emotion as well as I would have liked. I made her more "matter of fact" about her status.... She really was a hard one to write (but that is just me). So, I can't say this one is very accurate, but it is my interpretation of her.... I have plans for the next poem in the works now.


Magic Of My Color – Part 6

I am not your darker half,

But you hide me just the same. . . .

For you don't want the world to know

That someone like me

Could ever be a part of you.

My mannerisms don't reflect

Any manners in the slightest. . .

Not appealing to your better sense at all.

You may call me vulgar,

Uncouth, lazy, or crude.

Or perhaps,

Do you simply think me rude?

My actions, they amaze you;

My behavior can't help but faze you.

But, I am as I am,

And there's nothing you can do. . .

Though you wish, I have no doubt.

And so I remain,

The bright orange nuisance

That you'd rather do without.
