Rhyme Scheme: ABCADE AAFAGD BAHIJKLA MNOPQRST TUVUW DNAXYZA2B2B2| I was yrs old when I sold my nudity to a man yrs older for some yellow candy | A |
| As he stripped my pink princess dress off I was no longer my red cheeks or my big brown eyes | B |
| For him I was a pink vagina I was my ungrown breasts I was my pink nipples | C |
| An innocent yr old was just another naked female body | A |
| And yet I smiled I smiled and smiled and said yes cuz that's what you're supposed to do right | D |
| Say yes and smile to any man who sugarcoats words and offers them to you like candies and calls you the prettiest little girl in the world | E |

| Seven years later riding my bike through the mustard fields the day suddenly blinds me | A |
| And the image of him his face my yellow dress at the corner suddenly reminds me | A |
| As the image of him pushing my head against the wall | F |
| As he unzipped his blue jeans as he entered inside me | A |
| As he pulled my hair from behind as he turned my head and whispered | G |
| You are a very good girl You won't tell anyone about this right | D |
| - | |
| Ever since I've started hating the colors I've stopped getting up early to see sunrise | B |
| The orange reminds me of the sweater I've worn for the first time he touched me | A |
| I've caught all the roses the red reminds me of him | H |
| As he grabbed my breasts as he pulled back wiping the blood from my lips | I |
| As he sucked the life out of mine | J |
| I hate the green grasses that remind me of his evil green eyes his pastel green bedroom walls | K |
| I hate the sunset they remind me of everything I've lost | L |
| My innocence my dignity that cold december night I've lost my body | A |
| - | |
| Ever since I've colored my house green now I love my bedroom lifeless garden | M |
| I cannot stand the sunlight I've put on thick drapes | N |
| And I always make sure that the curtains are shut | O |
| I hate the mirrors they're liars they see me as my curvy silhouettes | P |
| But I'm just my skin and bones | Q |
| I don't have curves I have sharp edges | R |
| But loneliness always comes in grey or black | S |
| I've found my solace in darkness it feels like my home now | T |
| - | |
| Until one day when I was yrs old now | T |
| Suddenly I read a book and it said | U |
| We accept the love we think we deserve | V |
| As the echo of my voice said | U |
| You deserve better you deserve better I deserve better | W |
| - | |
| I woke up the next morning just in time to see the sunlight | D |
| As I found enough courage in me to open the drapes | N |
| As the first rays of the sun hit me | A |
| In the mirror I saw | X |
| For the first time in forever I accepted myself | Y |
| I was all my experiences my memories | Z |
| I was all the reds and the blues and the yellows and I was a RAINBOW | A2 |
| I WAS BEAUTIFUL | B2 |
| I AM BEAUTIFUL | B2 |
