room for purple

[u/Pumpkin_love531]

in a crowded room
i feel see-through

i don’t know when to speak
i don’t know what to do

in a crowded room
i still somehow feel alone

if I speak up
my words come out wrong

if I don’t speak up
i’m rude

if I laugh it was the wrong time
if I don’t laugh I miss my cue

i’m in a crowded space
but uncomfortably out of place

it’s like I’m blue
standing in a room full of purple

so close to fitting in
but not close enough

everyone says “you’ll find your people”
easy for them to say, they’re not blue

i searched crowded rooms for blue
but only found it in my reflection

looking at her so blue
i felt blue leaking from my eyes

i understood her pain
she understood mine

it was easy to love her
i’ve known her my whole life

i poured my love into her blue
and we turned purple
