My body is perfect —ly spotted The white spots I tell myself Are my Bambi spots
I’m watching a woman in a bikini In great shape with a swollen bell… Play with her puppy named Gatsby A Hispanic family comes The little girl dips her feet in

The news hit me Like a punch in the gut I threw up two times From the pain Knowing that I
This world is covered in bias It’s all over you It’s all over me too This world is covered in bias It shades our words
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
