Yellow Pinafore






The first dress I remember
was a yellow pinafore
I felt so pretty...

A series of dresses followed
ill fitting and awkward,
I tried to hide my skinned knees
my dirty hands...

and the smile I didn't really feel.

Today, the dresses no longer feel awkward
but they've grown in length
to keep things hidden,
things you found so easy to plunder

in shorter dresses...

and I still feel contempt
for the color yellow.
