I wear the royal purple dress
  that shimmers in the light.
I tie my hair with scarlet ribbon
  to show that I'm on fire.
I tread on dark brown leather shoes
  that tell where I have been.
I place a sapphire on my neck
  to whisper my emptiness.

My lipstick is a gentle pink
  that shows delicacy.
My fingers are painted unearthly hues
  to scream that I'm unique.
My wrists are covered in bracelets
  to cover the secrets I can't keep.

My eyes are green to blend with the crowd,
my hair is gold to show my worth.
My soul is painted with ivory white,
but the truth is that it's cursed.

I love this very self-confidence showing piece. The colour of purple and the way it really shines. You have an interesting formula in the pattern which is really cool. Love it. <3
