a letter to my mother (III)

criticism of the society i take.

they’ve been conditioned

to be blind,

to confine themselves to

beauty magazines,

to decline what they

deem ugly.

but aren’t you supposed to

love me ma?

because when you say it ma,

it's not fine.


dear ma,

next time

bring a lesson

not poison.
