meant to empower women to stand up for themselves, and change within, the unrealistic beauty standards being set for them. There are several key words and phrases that inspired "I look."
I look
I look for her face
in random
passersby
as we approach the city
where she now resides.
A move I'm sure meant to hide
from the past that they created
and I despise.
She doesn't
deserve an encounter with me.
She'd freeze. Because
from what I know,
she's not very good with words.
Unless
they're written on a page or
in lessons where she
probably thrives
when prepared
and organized.
But I don't know.
Meeting me would throw
her into a rope
and cause her throat
to knot like her stomach
that turns in too many directions,
while
abandoning the things
she's supposed to hold dear.
I'm not real clear
except I suspect that her
disrespect is
caused by years of
being ignored,
abandoned,
or treated like a whore.
In actuality, it's not fair of me
to speculate about
her reality.
