Pink world

Pink world

I hate the colour pink,

reminds me of husband, ring. 

Vulnerable and weak,

not something  that I seek.

It's been like that since... him

when my light bacame dim. 

Broke, touched and hit,

that's when darkness took a lead.

Let's look like a boy,

I refuse to be a toy (again).

Black, blacker and gray,

Refused a colourful day.

And then I met you,

there was no black, dark blue.

You were pink from head to toes,

beautiful like a blooming rose.

Kind smile, honest words,

was like a collision of two worlds.

I barely blink(ed),

my life became pink. 

I used to hate the pink colour

but now it is a honor

to wear pink with you.

Author's Note

When abuse takes your femininity... process of healing takes time, but I believe, you all will find your pink soon

Sturdy piece on a journey of recovery. Using the color pink as a symbolic reminder of past pain and current love. Brokenness to renewal!
I am curious, though, why the color Pink?

Pink colour was meant to represent femininity and feeling comfortable in it (It's just an example, I usualy don't like stereotypes). There are lot of women that says that they lost their longing and sense of femininity during/after they've been abused. Stepping into femininity again means healing, feeling safe...

Oh, I see. Well, thank you for sharing. Healing after such an experience is truly a long process. CS
