Protruding Purples

Rebecca Holder | On 11, Jan 2021

Lustrous dark armor clanking as the stray

Shades of protruding purples, beginning to fade,

Seemed to look subdued by the dulling gray.

Too prideful to become weak and afraid,

She chased after the color that downplays

The growing despair to not be dismayed.

Wishing to maybe sometimes just fly away,

And leave the path she swore to be unafraid

Of. She fell on her knees to pray

To finish her goal and not be swayed.

At last,

Standing to keep away

The thoughts that began the raid,

For then one day

Catch the color of her aid.
