perylene


carmine, garnet, crystal, ruby red

flowing out and running down to rest around my head

cardinal, cleret

alone, I can't bear it

as ashen metal clatters to the ground

bring forth the cadmium crown

Check out my Wattpad for more poetry, I'd appreciate it. https://www.wattpad.com/story/122400073-little-do-you-know Trying to get myself out there, my poetry is my life. Just a young girl in an unforgiving world, trying to keep her head above the water.
