I wrote a poem once about society and a moth. I wrote about how moths are attracted to light, and how (young) females (specifically) are taught from a small age how to act and speak, etc. One line from the poem went something like, "Societal standards are set as social suicide, a moth will fly higher and higher to find that light, like a child who reaches, growing and yearning into the vicious circles we've submitted to." Both moth and child burn out, one takes it literally and powdery wings crumple down, singed, while our girls take it to heart, falling down scorched by words and go back to playing pretend. They are hit with an awful clarity that the lives they want are based against them and they should leave to hopes and dreaming to the girls who've been newly minted, leaving us, the ones poured into shattered moulds.
hehe wip asf but I’ll eventually get to it
