*You unfold me to reveal my true colors
reality sets the ashen tone on tone
shades of Gray unmanageable
black purges from my soul
you try to color outside the lines
my pink underbelly turns steel cobalt
no purple mountains majestic views
sickly putrid green reeks the color of death
failed attempts cower in tinged yellow
no vibrant color palette here to uncover
you can't expose my soul and expect brilliance
you abruptly fold me back into abashed creases
still searching for the simple elegance
of an unfurled radiant rainbow*
