Violet

Violet's not just my middle name

But I feel it is my colour

Violet's my Great Grandma's name

Violet is an honour

Violet means twelfth night

That's what Shakespeare says

Time I was bought into the light

At that end of day

Violet was a taken dame

Her soul belonged to this nation

lived under down this island's shame

Of the stolen generation

Purple represents thoughtfulness

Red is my deep passion

White is the light inside my heart

And blue means my depression

Violet is a mixed colour

And so my nationality

I am not a simple one

I have personality

Violet has surpassed

Violet has a history

Violet is so vast

And Violet is a Mystery

Violets not just my middle name

Violet is my honour

Isn't just a simple word

Violet is my colour
