A Love Poem?
A ghost poem inspired by "Ugly" by Warsan Shire.
You are her mother.
Why did you not warn her,
Hold her like a rotting boat
And tell her that men will not love her?
You should have told her she was difficult
She talks too much
She believes in staying home to watch anime and eat pizza
Men will not love her.
You should have told her
She has to comb her hair
Be ten sizes smaller
Smile when she is not feeling like it
Stroke his ego, or
Men will not love her
Your daughter is ugly
The world on her shoulder
She doesn't wear the world well
You should have told her
Men will not love her
A ghost poem inspired by "Ugly" by Warsan Shire.
