Blue

It's so clear

I am blue and you are white
Blue is wrong and white is right

But white is a color you can see through
Blue is different; blue is true

White is so blank, needing something more
Blue has depth, layered to the core

White is the page onto which one grows
Blue is the soul, already exposed

White is nothing, empty, and vast
Blue is strong; blue will last

White I was, but blue I became
Blue I've been, and blue I'll remain

I
am
blue

    "Blue is the soul, already exposed"
    There's a deep connection between the words "Soul" and "Exposed" here, that I've never noticed before. This is raw.

    Just returning the comment! I really liked this a lot; I liked how you used colors to describe your relationship with other people. I think the metaphor works, especially since your username is "Blue" lol. I liked that it rhymed too, it didn't sound forced at all, and that takes some talent, which you have a ton of! This is awesome! Never give in, Annandhel.

    Hot damn girl that's pretty deep... like blue! haha That was really really good. You have an awesome talent and could mold words that could melt the soul, warm the heart, stretch the mind, and bring tears to the eyes of many. I am very proud of you and amazed by your writing. I have to read yours more often. Keep writing girl. Peace out :-D

    God Bless,

    YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I really really like this for some reason. It had such a great flow to it and it gives us some insight into the possible meaning/motive to your username. I loved this I really did. Your words just rolled off my tongue, it went together perfectly. Great Job. I really should start writing some poetry for the summer but this summer I am working on a book so when I get an urge to write, I go to my book... Oh well, I will write one soon. You have inspired me! NeVER stop writing- you were given a gift and GOD WANTS YOU TO USE IT! So keep writing!!!!!!!
