Little Girl In Pink

By dlb

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I once thought that the sky looked beautiful at night... it was when I was a little girl and wore pink I tied my hair up with ribbons Played soccer at recess Boys were gross... The days were too short The nights were dark and scary But I've outgrown the pink Now I wear only black I hide behind closed doors My head is shaved I quit playing sports, oh so long ago Boys are now men and my obsession The nights are too short The days seem to never end... and the sky that once looked so beautiful at night... tinted pink and purple.... is now merely a reminder of the polluted lies that we are fed as little girls in pink.
