Lavender Teeth Poem

Blonde and bold

Seen by people through gold tinted air

Easy going, smart with delight

Have you ever seen what it is to walk through mud instead of sand?

Do you ever see me as I am? Are people there simply to inflate and praise?


I idealised you in the past, you seemed like an angel when I was a dim witted outcast

Do you actually care? Or do you have lavender carnivorous teeth?

Are your smiles part of the injustice sleep?


Cultural appropriation braids should have been the first sign

A reminder for me to not put you on such a pedestal

That you are in fact human and are capable of making mistakes

A pedestal is a prison just like being invisible to people is

Blonde white pretty women already have so much

But to you your hair is simply a bit of fun, a quirk


Lavender teeth, with a purple robe

Perhaps someone should have just pointed it out to you

But then again you're smart enough to have figured it out on your own
