They colored me pink,
Once they wiped me of red.
But on the inside I was blue,
And pink filled me with dread.

And as I whispered "boy" and held myself tight.

Pink shone bright to others
But all I could see was blue.
"Your to feminine to be a boy" they say.
And I couldn't help but think it was true.
