Her stained thoughts manifest
as reckless voice that
critiques and confines.
Her words jars authenticity
and snubs their narrative,
cooked from their perspective,
and experience.
Flames of disapproval,
burn brighter with every beat
as incompetency bites
and acceptance withers.
She captures snapshots,
and confines them into
stereotyped framed
of idiosyncratic value.
But steadily,
as she delayers,
scrubs the scrutiny of judgements
of her thoughts, and emotions —
she steps off the battleground
of others skin
and becomes the change of creating
a embracing society.

Her stained thoughts manifest

Her words jars authenticity

She captures snapshots,
and confines them into

But steadily,
as she delayers,
scrubs the scrutiny of judgements
of her thoughts, and emotions —
she steps off the battleground
of others skin
and becomes the change of creating
a embracing society.
