purple is a lovely color,

but i do not like it on me

for it trickles away from the cu/ts and scars-

because of it:

i wish it would go away---

white is a lovely color,

of clouds and doves

but i do not like it on me

for it su ffo ca tes and (surrounds) m e -

because of it:

i wish it would go away----

but it doesn’t””

because its all i see now

and i realize

white is all the colors in one
