I will wear purple now, while I still hold the glow of youth,

Unashamed, I shall not wait for gray to tell my truth.

I wont let the years steal what I could fairly claim,

Time waits for no one, none, it plays a wicked game.

So why should I wait for gray to arise?

To hold my light up, to unmask my lies.

Others will judge, but still I’ll stand tall,

Draped in my purple, I rise through it all.

The fiercest battle will be the one fought within,

The one where all my doubts and fears have always been.

My inner critic, my shadow at night,

She’s who I have to face each time I hold up my own light.

But I will not flatter, to her I will no longer bow,

She is the shadowed whispers that can’t haunt me now.

I’ll challenge her darkness, as I hold steady my light,

When I wear my purple, I will win every fight.

This life is a clock that endlessly ticks on,

So why do we wait to the end to hear our own song?

Own this journey through life we must be both bold and true.

So I’ll wear my purple now, and a red hat too!
