Pink
(especially combined with ruffles)
is such a girly thing.
Pink ruffles
to match my pink pillow
& my pink shelf.
My pink phone & pink nails
(OPI-Pinking of you).
My pink computer inside
my book bag lined
with my pink initials
(why the fuck do I have a brown book bag?)
Those pink ruffles should have a voice.
To tell you how perfectly
I represent the color pink
in all it’s stereotypical requirements.
How I’m smart -yet delicate.
Never overstepping my boundary.
How I’m cute & petite
& always so, so nice.
Pink means girly.
It means sweet,
soft, & polite.
Pink ruffles
to cover up the fact that I’m fucking crazy.
