I Do Not Hate the Colour Pink
An ode to a colour I avoided because womanhood is a sin

I am not a fan of the colour pink
I despise the way it looks on my skin
The morality of pink is a sin
I would hate if others started to think
That I like pink flowers, pink pens, pink ink
Reminders that womanhood is a sin
Like what matters does not come from within
But maybe it's time for us to rethink
You see it's not the colour pink I hate
I hate what this came to represent
To be pink is to be weak; it's innate
Let's change this narrative, let's liberate
ourselves, let's move forward with intent.
So one day this fear of pink will abate

Well done, I loved this line in particular: "I would hate if others started to think That I like pink flowers, pink pens, pink ink"
