Femininity is wonderful

It’s not afraid of spelling things wrong

The glitter pens and rounded swooping letters

The memory of someone calling your handwriting “nice” 

seared in your memory

 

Femininity is loud 

It’s the nights we watch our favorite movie musicals

And we treat it like our own personal concert

She laughs with me, jumping to the beat

 

Femininity is lovely

It’s the exclusive fashion shows

That take place on in cozy dorm rooms 

Littered with a trove of wonders

 

Femininity is problem-solving

Losing the key to my friends apartment because I

Was cat sitting and not being met with anger

But a, “let’s figure out what to do”

 

Femininity is self-love

In the softer and harder parts

And our love for one another

Instills a love for ourselves

 

Femininity is home

It’s the feeling of holding hands

Sunsets on a summer day

And the feeling of someone to hold

No matter how far away they are
