Pink dress

When I was ten my dad bought me this pink dress
I hated pink  
And what did a skinny tomboy need a dress for?  
                       I  
                  hated that  
                  pink dress  
But my dad wanted me to have it
So I kept it  
I even wore it once to hang with the boys  
They didn't approve  
                         I  
                   hated that  
                   pink dress  
even more  
My dad said I should grow up and wear it to school
Be a lady for once  
not some gangly looking boy  
So I did  
I wore it to school  
And everyone looked at me different  
I didn't care  
I just had to be a lady today  
So ate with the ladies and talked to the ladies  
They all smirked at me from behind napkins  
But said nothing overturned  
I got home in my dress and my dad said
Drunker then drunk  
Why the fuck do you listen to me  
You look worse then a gangly boy  
Now you look like a gay kid  
That should've been swallowed  
                              I  
                       hated that  
                       pink dress  
But I wore it again  
One last time to pick my dad up from the whalers club  
Down on belville ave  
He was piss drunk laying with his head sprawled on top of the bar  
Sleeping in a puddle of regret  
I just held my head up high  
and said  
daddy , Daddy ,daddy  
Look I wore the pink dress
He looked up at me and smiled  
Yeah daddy loves that pink dress
                             I fucking
                            Hated that  
                            Pink dress
