I see you walking wide
hear the coarse words
feel the slap and shove
smell a stink unfeminine
I get why you fear a dress
you can wear the worst
go full goblin on a raid
make yourself living trash
do nothing to impress
but you already shine
your light doesn't end at your eyes
your smile is more than a line
your words touch my heart
your thoughts inspire dark
women need you too
they need your confidence
they need your resolve
they need you to be you
they need you like I need you
because women are just like you

Original Poems 2024
PoetrySometimes my trauma works its way into my work. Sometimes I'm writing a joke. I'll try to signal when I think a piece might be particularly difficult, but I'm not a great judge of that. My work within will be unfocused. Critiques are welcome.
