Little Purple <3

Courage

It means courage

Is that why purple is the colour used for those of us who see both sides?

Who love in both black and white, blue and pink

We love souls and not genders

Is it courageous that we walk on that thin blurred line

That never seems to quite make sense to anyone else

My family would not understand

Or even accept me for being who I am

So they do not know

Not out of fear

Because they do not deserve to know the real me

They get my mask

The one I cultivated for years while they were molding me into their perfect pet

My found family and the one I've worked hard to build and love

They get me

Maybe I'm not courageous

Maybe keeping this half of myself under lock and key is cowardice

But not all of us need to "come out" or live life in bold colours

I'm happy with my purple heart that I share with others like me

We get it

We cherish it

And it's all love
