What is a women's touch,
Without representing the delicately soft petals of our favorite flower?
What is a women's touch,
Without the comparison of honey, lavender, and vanilla wafting through, sweetening our nostrils like our favorite bakery?
What is a women's touch,
Without the lack of mention of calloused hands, the bruises, swollen fingers from hard work?
What is a women's appearance,
Without the mention of perfectly applied make up, like our favorite Victoria Secret Model?
What is a women's appearance,
Without the mention of the apron around her thin waist like our general favorite black and white TV show?
What is a women's appearance,
Without ignoring the sweat build up in her hairline from pushing her body to the limits in the gym?
What is a women's appearance,
When we pretend to not notice the bags under her eyes from relentless hours of office work?
What is a women's appearance,
When the exquisite pearls around her neck,
Seem more like a collar than a pretty piece of jewelry,
When the bangles clanging on her wrists,
Seem more like shackles than something of beauty.
Stereotypes...
They own us.
