pink is a pretentious color
not bright or passionate or splashy like red
pink is a frivolous color
not mysterious or deep or rich like purple
pink is a playful color
not serious or intent or thoughtful like indigo
pink is a wanton color
not quiet or peaceful or calm like blue
pink is a pallid color
not vivid or living or fertile like green
pink is a deceptive color
not clear or truthful or honest like yellow
pink is a mask that people wear
a deception some like but others can’t bear
