sadness is purple
On March 28, 2016
a poem by [drayshawn]
When I wait for my mom all I see is the color purple.
The color purple is everwhere.
Purple is all I see.
When I look at the sky all I see is purple.
A lot of memories bring me back to the start
When I got left, I felt so lost
In my feelings, I don’t know what to do.
My spirit comes back cuz I saw my one and only.
But now all I see is orange
Bright, beautiful colors
Flowers, oranges, the sunset
I am happy now.
