For Women Taught To Shame Poem by Victor Adex

so poetry lives in this body
that has been taught to shame itself
it wells up as a rebellion
a switchblade to the
well bred, well fed lies
of a delinquent loosing status quo
.
poetry is serialized
in the ratio of ostracized body sizes
in the brain that dwells inside her head
in the flames that ignites within her soul
.
so to women who may one day hate themselves
buzzed by the high
of oppressed insanity on rampage
poetry lives within you too!
.
within the overflowing glows
within the reasons why you hid yourself
within your tears and blood flow
poetry lives within you
.
straighten your gait
caress a smile
and walk home
for your lovers await
the delight of your heritage.
