Letter from my gums

Dear Jade,
I hate you, too
Do you know what its like to stand next to such white specimens?
I'm know I'm purple
But I've grown to love myself
Even with all the probing and scrubbing
I've done my job without complaints
Not once did I cry when that damn toothbrush made me bleed
Not once did I complain when the Listerine singed my being
Why can't you accept me
I am your sense of diversity
I set you apart from every other person
When you smile, they see me
Your pretty PURPLE gums
With hatred,
Your gums
