Suppose Poem

Suppose 

that a mother could let her child 

walk by himself to the corner store, 

confident that he will return. 

Or that colors 

weren’t indicative of 

you’re essence.

We live as if femininity stands 

on the corner of every street 

with a bright pink, sparkly, sign

which reads “this is what I 

look like!”

Or that prince and princess 

fairy tales are the only form of 

true love. 

Suppose a woman can fall asleep

at night, while she lays in her own 

bed alone, 

knowing she’s protected here. 

We all qualify under the human 

essence, suppose we were treated 

this way.
