For the Love of Red

Red was a color I never liked as a child
My mother wanted me to wear red
due to my olive skin and blue black hair

But ...
I hated it!
My color choice was either navy blue

or black
The only colors that spoke to me​

As I grew older 
Purple entered into the 
picture of my color choices

But I still
hated red ...

Red to me was anger
fire
destruction
evil

Now ...
from the choices of colors
and their abilities
I choose Red

Why shouldn't I ...
I feel invisible all the time
why not actually
become invisible...
