Why is this okay?

Why is this OK?

 

Why?

Why is there so much inequality

In a world with supposed perfect society?

Why is it that in this world

Boys have more power than girls?

Why are there oceans of tears

And mountains built from fears?

Why is there war raging

So much its aging?

Why are peoples calls for ceasefire going unanswered

Has pain and hurt become a standard?

Why is grief and anger normal

Why do the nice feelings the ones that used to help feel formal.

Why is it that when you were younger

You could say the word funner

Why is it now you are older means you must be mature

Do you have to stand strong for your whole future?

Why is it so hard to prove that women are strong

Do we have to do the same thing we have been doing all along?

Why is it that so many people like the old traditions

The ones that have become addictions?

Why is it that the traditions only help those people with a certain criteria

People who fit in a certain area?

Why are the people almost always straight white cis sexist racist homophobic men?

When will this cruelty end?

Why is our life like this

When will we get our bliss?

Why are the rules

Always cruel?

Why is this OK?

Who made this OK?

This is not OK?

Why is this OK?

  • A Mix

    My face is a mix of my parents'

    I have my dad's eyes

    And hair

    I have my moms features

    And skin tone

    But it all pulled together

    To make my face

    My face with brown hair and eyes

    Pink lips

  • My Hair and My Eyes

    My hair is brown

    It doesn't have highlights

    Or a red tint

    It doesn't shine

    In the sun

    It's just brown

    It's not long

    Or layered

    There's no light brown

    Hidden in the dark brown

  • A Story About A Girl

    Let me tell you story

    A story about a girl

    Who had the same longing for adventure

    As little Red Riding Hood

    And the same urge for freedom

    As Rapunzel

    Let me tell you a story

    About a girl
