Do you think your bitter words Make me less than you somehow Even if you scream in wrath Your red is vainly spent Do you think your persecution Makes me hide away in shame Even if you shred my dignity You will never be lilly white Do you think your humiliation Makes me shrink away in fear Even if you place yourself on high I can see the yellow from here Do you think your lack of compassion Makes me wither away in pain Even if you kick me while I'm down The blue will come home to you Do you think your resentment Makes me smother the light inside Even if you decide to erase me You will aways be green with memory Do you think your disloyalty Makes me leery of the world Even if you aquaint with many You will never know the color purple Do you think your closed mindedness Makes me blind to the horizon of change Even if you rust in stagnant waters The gold will rush right by you In your attempts to drain me I hate to break to you the news You've just given me the boldness To Make things more Clear to you |

To gain strength from the weakness of those that hold the insecurities of brashness is a tribute to the character. Great write and I really enjoyed the flow of this one. You pen it well and the feelings really impact the reader. Well done. |

From color to clarity, the progression was well done. |

Dear Regina, great words of discription and feeling, of hurt and defiance. Feeling which have found their outlet through words. A very good write. Rick |
