societal disorder

A Poem by Heather Hassell
"

don't judge me.

"
a monster lives inside me

he makes me stick
my fingers down my throat
until i get sick

this monster promises to love me

he plays peek-a-boo in tv screens
and billboards
and magazines

i live inside a monster

whose business is quite profitable
making little girls feel uncomfortable
unlovable

The title caught my attention big time and I wasn't disappointed. A well crafted light illuminating a chronically unacknowledged social issue. I would never judge because I feel very strongly about this particular issue myself. It's a regular concearn for me. I try to keep my daughter away from TV advertising as often as possible because of this very reason. And it can be an uphill battle sometimes.

Masterfully crafted!! Your structure, flow and rhyming are exceptional, along with your well developed lines.
