Simple Beauty

Trapped between four amethyst walls.
Everyone walks around,
showing off their beauty,
like peacocks.
But I am plain.
My reflection is simple.
I stare out the window,
at the violet twilight.
The purple moon,
like a plum,
glistening in the sky.
I wipe away a glass tear,
as I write.
My hands are numb,
but I still write.
I look out the window once again,
and I realize.
No matter what colour the sky is,
everyone still thinks it's beautiful.
Just like me.
I'm not a sky blue morning sky like everybody,
I'm a dark and twisty stormy sky.
But I am still beautiful.

  2. Yes, love this:
    "I'm not a sky blue morning sky like everybody,
