This poem is about my very conservative parents and the pressure of femininity they forced on to me growing up. Its a sad poem that briefly explores family relations, immigrate parents, ableism, misogyny and respectability.
I want us to share our stories and realities. I want to know more about marginalised people so if any of my work is alienating or discriminatory, please let me know and the poem will be taken up a version with an explanation so we can all learn together. Love from Love, Builder of Worlds x
