Grab a color from her rainbow
Walk with it into her world of red lips, lined eyes, and a voice that doesn’t match her long skirt
See her! Oh, please look at her.
Not with averted eyes, ridicule, or mockery.
She has intellect, warmth, strength, and a spirit to fight, with you and with herself.
Feel her scars, her shrunken vagina, her lacerated member.
See her, and not just from the torso down.
Think of her not as an albatross in your society
Invite her into your universe.
Your mayhem of a universe with a sink full of dishes, stressful jobs, wasted nights, friends, babies, and therapists.
Teach her the moralities of everyday life but learn from me the songs of an empathetic heart.

She can thrive in your world, but can you survive in hers?
