Her

March 2020. With the census this year. I was thinking about how society looks at
Females. They have to find there own self.

Her

were asked to fill out either or
male or female check mark
seeing that one option you are
does female match our society
here standing out matters less
expected to be dainty feminine
dress up in heels and makeup
look at celebrities image closely
pixels illuminate a moment in time
real sweats and graphic tees

mix it match it modify it
be confident all likes unique
able to say this is who I am
not letting an outfit speak out
love me not always the threads
put together in events code
keepers of impressing others
happily bonding among waves

where the water confuses
dressing trendy how about it
break away more like it
that's not all girls are made of
rescue inside those differences
generate new way for thoughts
crowned behind pretty faces
wardrobes worth an identity
she can be anything today

pretty little boxes lined up
clear spaces grains of sand
smashed into moving castles
tides of courage speak out
having a part of change

Fe makes all the noise
feeling how we really feel
fearless when it matters most
reading featuring her
feet that round each corner

watch before this routes up
how wonderful one is
