The Boy In Pink

BLUE WAS THE DISGUISE ABIDING BY SOCIETAL NORMS

THOUGH THE ENERGY INSIDE RADIATED A BRIGHTER FORM

90210 DOLLS PLAYED WITH IN SECRECY

G.I JOE FIGURES LAYED BEFORE ME

THE DESIRE TO EXHALE SEEMED IMPOSSIBLE, BREATHING IN NEVER OUT WAS AN OBSTACLE

I MANAGED WELL WHILE THINKING THIS IS UNFAIR

FOR OTHERS JUST TO BE , BUT I DARE NOT BE ME

BLUE WAS THE COLOR I REPLIED WHEN ASKED WHICH IS MY FAVORITE

EACH TIME A LIE TEARING AT THE ENERGY INSIDE

A lIFE SPENT INSIDE A CLOSET DELAYS THE ADVENTURE OF SELF DISCOVERY

FROM FEELING TRAPPED TO CHEATED OUT OF YEARS TO BECOME MY FULL POTENTIAL, I STEP OUT OF THOSE DOORS, THE JOURNEY OF THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL

PINK IT TOLD ME, FOR I ALREADY KNEW

NOT WHITE, NOR BLACK, AND NEVER BLUE

YOU ARE CHEERFUL, YOU EXCITE, YOU ARE LOVE, YOU ARE BRIGHT

THE AURA IS APPROACHABLE, IT DRAWS OTHERS NEAR

UNCOMMON YET ENTICING FOR THIS BLACK BOY WHOM IS QUEER

SO WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?

PINK I TOLD THEM, ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF WHO I AM

FINALLY LIVING IN TRUTH AND LOVE , NOW ABLE TO EXHALE.
