Purple

A poem

By Kathryn Aldrich Published 5 years ago 1 min read

Purple

Stoicism

It represents to me

What I fight in life

It has made me

I cry not to others

But to myself

The tears of pain, of dreams unrealized,

Of hardship on myself

And yet, when I compose myself, I return to who I have to be.

Stoic.

Purple.
