Favourite Colours

By Kaitlyn J

By Kaitlyn JPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Pink

Tutus, fairies, and pigs

What I loved

Before I knew associations

Before I knew assumptions

Blue

Grade four

Because boys ran faster

Because boys were stronger

Because boys were in charge

Because I didn’t fit in with the girls

Baby Purple

High School

I will be different

I will be against the flow

I will be neither girl nor boy

I will be me

Yellow

Traveling

What if none of this is real

What if we didn’t have to identify

What if we are the same but conditioned

What if colours were just colours

Vibrant Orange

Wife

Like Buddhist Monks’ attire

Like a beautiful sunset

Like non-judgement

Like universal love

surreal poetry
