Poetic push back: He body shamed her and I am not letting it be

Story
How dare you? Forget so soon the nine months u spent in her womb cradled by her body fed by her intake?
How dare you? Forget the pain she bore so brave to carry your weight ever growing & pressing with groans & love?
How dare you? Forget the fight she fought so brave to push while they pulled and maybe had a CS to give birth to u and bring u home safe?
How dare you? Forget the nights she stayed up when u couldn't sleep from the fever or aches hunger when there was nothing because he left nothing?
How dare you? Forget that our beauty lies not on the outside that dem breasts will sag as u sucked them sweet and the stretches & wrinkles are but badges of honour?
How dare u son? Now dare to think that u got the right to tell our daughters how they should dress and how their bodies must be like for u to like or love them just because u got dem balls?
