It was only a phase

April 14, 2019

Bangs. Who said it was a good idea?

Black makeup. Who said it was a good idea?

"emo" hair. WHO said it was a good idea?

I have always been drawn as a shape and compared to a pig.

There is nothing wrong with pigs. They are just pink.

Pink. A feminine color that was only shown from the inside.

Pink didn't come out until the sounds of my breathing were gasping for water.

Black. Who said it was a good idea?

Something wrong with this poem?
