“I wonder why I am so scared.”

She makes me want to scream

And break all the rules
Her hair smells like a Dunkin iced coffee with cream
And her boyfriend is such a fucking tool.

to face the day she puts on her armor and wields a sword
the metal plates gleam with gold lining
(a soft metal
but pretty)

No boys allowed
For either of you.

A perfect world
A white world
A world belonging to man and woman
A world belonging to a perfect white man and a perfect white woman
The perfect white woman belonging perfectly to the perfect white man

Too loud, they hollered.

And too quiet.

Too fat, they poked.

And too skinny.
