Purple, my nervous, trembling hands,

when you tell me, "that's cool, I just don't understand."

Purple, the blood that pumps through my veins

I can't change its colour yet it's me that you blame.

Purple, the tint of my eyes and my lips

from the way that I see and the way that I kiss.

Purple, the colour that I'm forced to hide

For between red and blue, I just can't decide.

Purple, my heart when you call me sick names,

I promise, it's not for attention or fame.

Purple, the beat that pounds in my ears,

You say it's a phase, but what phase lasts for years?

Purple, and now, do you comprehend?

Because yes, indeed, some colours do blend.
