Liberating Words: “Girl Crush”
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.
Liberating Words: “Her Armor”
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)
Liberating Words: “No Boys Allowed”
No boys allowed
For either of you.
Liberating Words: “The Next People”
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
Liberating Words: “Woman”
Too loud, they hollered.
And too quiet.
Too fat, they poked.
And too skinny.
