The Canvas
I am not a color
I am the white canvas
I am the glue for the inspiration
Color sticks to me and creates me
Another blank canvas enters
Bigger, stronger
Presses down on me
I am not a washed-up canvas
Blue over pink
You know what I think?
I think the world needs color
I think the world needs pink
Why am I pink?
Why isn’t a flower beautiful?
Fallacy phallus-y
Why does the big white canvas tell me what color I can be?
Why do the pink canvases tell pink what shade it has to be?
Intersectionality
Down with the patriarchy
I will not be controlled, I will not be defined
I am not a color
I am a voice, an identity
Crying, weeping
I believe in more than one color, more than one definition
If I cannot be free than whom can I be?
Women, men, races, taste this
Feel the color, feel the canvas
You are the canvas
