Pink

I often ponder 

of when I was fonder of pink

I was much younger 

and for pink I went bonkers

More than you’d probably think

As i grew older 

the world grew colder 

no more protections 

adolesence no longer an acceptation

homeless and afraid 

everyday I prayed 

Dear God, 

can you hear me?

I’m so very lonely

The world you made

is no parade
I need to be saved 

I had to be brave

Now

In a desperate attempt

to remain exempt 

I’ll hold onto pink

a love that will not shrink

Childhood’s faded 

Everything is graded
My heart rests in pink 

My personal missing link
