Rules to Gratefulness

Her body is something
To be discovered
Rather than de-clothed,
Her mind is meant to be
Influenced by thought
Rather than inflicted upon
By threats.
Her womb should be
Purposely preserved
Rather than precariously
Penetrated.
Her smile should be bronzed only
Because it’s third to your mom’s
and your daughter's
Rather than broken,
Her opinion should be appreciated
Rather than annihilated.
Her ability should be continuously
Conjugated rather than carelessly
Considered.
Her presences should be upheld
Rather than unnoticed.
Her voice should be heard
Rather than hindered.
Telling her that you love her should be
a gratifying gift rather than a
Gutless gesture.
