july
she was reminded of her colors
bleeding out through a black light
she can't see them but they're always there
red, purple, green, pink
all the colors she was too afraid to dye her own hair

at 20, she goes grey
silver locks peak through auburn
locks she locks them away
under a pool of self-righteousness
checking linkedin everyday
for what? revenge
on past lovers, friends
but mostly her own reflection
who has forgotten her own favorite song
