What If

What if?

 

What if all she wanted was freedom

Freedom from the society’s haunting words

Freedom from judgments

From hatred that flowed from their souls

 

Judgments that flowed from uneducated minds

Hatred from unclean hearts

Misunderstanding persons who never knew why

She did all she did

 

What if she wanted to run away

From eyes that unstrap her

Hands that try to choke her

Mouths that curse her

What if she was seeking security

From the inferiority she felt

 

What if she just wanted to prove a point

To all the hungry men who wanted her as relish

What if she wanted to furnish herself

Make up for lost words

 

What if, she also wanted to be human

To feel normal

To not be cursed and abused

For being different

 

What if that was the case?
