Society’s definition of standard hands slowly grip tighter around her neck
You’re not small enough
You’re not big enough
Your bosoms don’t bust the seams of your shirt bringing the men who wallow in thirst to their kneesYour gluteus maximus is not at its maximum
Roundness that offenders can grasp
Take your hands from around her throat
Let her breathe and get to know who she is
Place those hands around her waist and understand the oceans in her curves
Look for the beauty in the waves of her womanhood
Love the essence of her allure
Cherish her in the moment of her ambiguity when it comes to choosing lunch with jokes that cracks smiles and cackles that erupt from her belly like an unbearable tickle
Stop refining her imperfections to fit your definition of perfect
Find time to admire her need not to fit into this glass box
Where societies hands chokes her while we all watch

What a beautiful concept. Thank you for this, I needed to read it.
I am glad you enjoyed it. You’re welcome! I want to bring more of this issues to light and it is always good to hear that I helped someone with my poetry.
Society… Yeah, the norms… F*** Them.
YEAH ✊🏼
