Omg I love this!

#

Specific things I like:
"A color unseen"
"A soul as fragile as china"
"Gripping on the illusion of beauty"
I like the contrast between this color and the narrator's overall dull world
"A color that blazes everything alight for her colorblind world"
Also yasss I'm all here for sunrise imagery. I love the metaphors in imagery of that specific stanza.
Amazing last line!

#

I guess that's how you sparingly use rhymes for impact cause that had such an enormous impact

Is there anywhere you would reccomend for me to revise more on?

Ummmm idk it's pretty good but I'd say I guess maybe you could've like maybe elaborated more on why the weight of the world has crushed her to the point where this idea of such a color of wonder acts as such of an escapism for her but like idk you do that pretty good already cause it's a really good poem

#

Omg also I love how yet again I found a rhyme on someone else's poem that reminds me of something I wrote

#

"Why is it that she seeks a color unseen"
Reminds me of
"Evergreen is a feeling unseen"

I was thinking of the speaker as colorblind, since often those that lack something, have something to make up for it if you get what I mean
