#victimshaming
Overlook the fragile hourglass figure Beyond corsets and pseudo-beauty rules, Endorse thy curves and stretch marks strewn, The dusky skin and frizzy curls, Braille like pimples on the face Discoloration, bumps and pores; This Body shaming, I shall pass. Writhing in pain and humiliation, Drenching in rage and insecurity While I lie, Society curses me Defining and redefining my chastity; 'T was the crop top, the alcohol and the sly behavior. You set the monster free and blame the **** This Victim shaming, I shall pass. Beige and ebony; They call me names blatantly Betwixt skin color and bleached smiles. Laugh and scoff all you want. Harass the Black, detain them, Prejudiced minds rule your dystopian world. This Black shaming, I shall pass. Without creating a labyrinth of stigma, And seeking refugee in collective blame, Let's construct our utopian world Acknowledging all freaks and flaws This Shaming, we shall pass.
