I attended a poetry event, called Verbal Mayhem, which is an organization that promotes writers to share their works of arts. One girl's poem has continued to stick out in my head, even though it was almost a month ago from today. In her poem she talks about how she is an African American so people expect her to have a big butt. She states that her "ass is little for a black girl" and that when she walks down the street, boys are "disappointed" by what they see as she passes. I was snapping my fingers throughout this whole poem, especially when she said, "just because I have a flat ass doesn't mean I won't make a wonderful wife, one that makes you breakfast every morning, will be loyal and will love you forever." EXCUSE ME SOCIETY BUT SINCE WHEN DOES A GIRL NEED A BOOTY IN ORDER TO BE A GOOD WIFE. SORRY MY ASS IS FLAT, I'M TRULY SORRY.... But what, if i did have a big butt, then would guys want to marry me? If I had a big butt would my husband be okay with me cheating and not doing shit all day? If I had an ass, would I be considered wonderful or lovable or "WIFEY MATERIAL" because that's what it's looking like. It's such a shame that girls are out there thinking they won't find love because of what's on the outside. As I was walking down the hall, a boy smiled at me and when I passed him, I looked back, to see his face disappointed and now uninterested. Be right back, let me do some squats until my ass is big enough to be a wife. SIKE.
