…hmm
…so that’s how it goes
bright shiny lip gloss
with mascara for the brow-
with ruffles and laced pants
with shoes to match
and a purse that hangs by the hip-
so that’s how it goes
and I hate myself for not grasping it
for the brown faded shirt
and the green spotted pants
that are my daily favorites
the ones that extend a sense of contentment-
so that’s how it goes
pure femininity against their skin
glowing to merely taunt me
yet unaware that they do
but why is it so complex for me
and why should my children suffer
because of who I mean not to be
heaven knows I mean no harm-
hmm, definitely from fckn mars.
