Pink Canvas

Pink
That's what colour my canvas is
That's what I painted it to look like
That's what everyone in my life painted it to be
But I don't want it to be pink
Maybe I want it to be blue
Maybe I want it to be green
Maybe even purple
Just not pink
"Look at the pretty pink canvas" they'd say
"Oh wow look how pretty it is"
I don't want it to be pink
"Pink suits your canvas"
I don't want it to be pink
"Such a beautiful shade of pink"
I DON'T WANT IT TO BE PINK
NOT PINK NOT PINK NOT PINK
NOT PINK

I'll just change it

I paint over my pink canvas
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Purple

There.

"Look what happened to your pink canvas!"
"It's ruined"
"It used to be so pretty"
"It's okay, I'll remember the pink"
"It'll always be pink to me"

I DON'T WANT IT TO BE PINK
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
I can't even hide it.
I didn't want it to be pink
Pink is all they'll ever see
It's ALL they'll ever see.
