When I uproot the hairs sprouting from the glabella
and strip my cupid’s bow of its wildflowers,
Frida Kahlo writhes in her grave.

She haunts me.

“You are beautiful.”
[unibrow and all]

“You are beautiful.”
[moustache and all]

“You are beautiful.”
[sadness and all]

I cut off my hair today.
Destroyed my crown of glory.
Threw off the shackles of beauty.
And I've never felt so free.
Beauty is a burden. And now a weight is lifted.

The outbursts of angry women,
the most beautiful thing to witness.

We fight to be heard —
Another cycle, that will never end..
It is only a wish to watch the fall of men.
I no longer wish to shrink myself for the sensitivity of men.
Anger is an emotion all women should express and the song of anger is finally being sung.

Bright Colors
Natures way of warning predators.
It's what I'd like to think.
Bone thin arms
I get nervous at night
Raw strength is something to fear.
****** disadvantages
Is all I see when
I gaze into reality, a mirror.
Absolute truths
Is what i fear, anxious
Bright pink-
What does it mean to me?
Everything.
A source of strength
Or an illusion I have strength at all.
A physical paradox.
I'd rather die respected than
Nothing at all.
I just want to feel strong.

I am going on a journey.
Suddenly, it dawned on me —
what if I die?

Abrupt. Unnoticed.

Is there anything
I could leave behind?
Other than grief,
than sadness,
regret?

I realized — no.
I have none.

So I stood up,
braced myself:

I will not die.
At least,
not today.
We pivot, and we keep going.
