The Mess

My best side is covered in a tomato red-

Dripping in ambition and love,

Wanting to achieve the world,

And sinking with my people.
The other side is surrounded in coppery brown-

Enclosed in my own boredom,

Never ready to start,
Pushing away at the potential around me.
The messy shades of me.
