That witch mole on your chin is a reminder.
That black,
cro
       oked
hair that peaks out just
                                 beneath
the surface of the skin,
a red herring.

Meant to distract you from your beauty,
meant to make you ignore all of the women that came before you

and burned
just for daring to exist in this world.
