Dark Shades of Purple

Purple is the color of suffocation As Im sitting close to my inner demons My face seems to fade into a dark shade of purple I lost hope and was overcome with feelings of regret and sadness But purple doesnt represent my whole existance I have a whole palette of emotions But when i decide to converse with the harsh voices in my head my palette begins to fade deep into a dark shade of purple As i drown in self pitty and paranoia My face seems to change deep into a dark shade of purple As I float on a sea of abandoned ideas along with thoughts of salvation, my life fades Deep into a dark shade of purple

Alec, , Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) HAPPY HOLIDAYS. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
