Purple

Jane Ferry

By Jane FerryPublished 5 years ago 2 min read

She walks down the halls all dressed in jewels.

She glides past the walls, while laughing at you fools.

Oh my god, have you met her?

That’s my favorite color.

You should grab her number.

I kinda wanna call her.

‘Cause that’s the color purple.

That’s the color of my dreams.

Gets me feeling kinda royal,

Gets me feeling like a queen.

P U R P L E, Purple.

P U R P L E, Know her.

Like purple, get electric.

Why are you such a skeptic?

I promise I can’t help it.

It’s been burned into my ethic.

Yes, I have to be dramatic,

‘Cause my world’s monochromatic.

I know some of y’all have had it.

But it’s hard to break old habits.

Like, every time I walk into a coffee shop.

I mix Lavender with all my blonde shots.

I like purple, and it makes me wanna bop.

Why I like this color so much I know not.

‘Cause I like the color Purple!

That’s the color of my dreams.

Gets me feeling kinda royal,

Got me thinking I’m a queen.

Genes

Get me feeling kinda royal.

Think I’m in a daydream.

I used to fight with my fists, but now I’m better, I’m this.

I’ve got a purple hitlist, I’m after all you misfits.

And I like all shades of purple. Except for Mauve, you are the devil.

Why do you think you’re special? You could never reach my level.

Almost forgot that man Magenta. No hard feelings, but I hate ya.

I’m the Purple Power Princess, and tomorrow, think I’ll getcha.

She is a diamond in the rough,

Look at you, you’re just a rock

This is my ode to purple.

And I’ll never get enough.

Now go and tell everyone,

That the fun has just begun,

“Cause I’ve got a purple paint gun,

And all you haters, you should run.

‘Cause Purple!!!!!

Is the color of my dreams.

Gets me feeling kinda royal.

Gets me feeling like a queen.

Because that’s the color purple.

That’s the color of your dreams.

Gets me feeling kinda royal,

Got me thinking I’m a queen.
