Female hero shirts

I wrote this poem because of a conversation Marion and i had Monday.  I wear a lot of superhero attire and one thing i get mixed reactions on is when my shirt display a female superhero.  i get as varied reactions as much as John Cena does when entering a WWE ring.  Some people insult me and some like what i wear.

Female Hero Shirts

Why don’t you get it

You like your sports

To me they’re boring

Way too bland

Your comments

Way out of hand

I prefer the arms

Of some hands

Enveloped in spandex

Fantastical powers

Defending hour after hour

I see my friends

You see a way to insult

Really come on get over it

The comics, cartoons

Clothes, t-shirts, things I like

The insults roll off

Like pebbles from a bike tire

Do you even know why

You are making

Fun of me so

Really it’s not me

It’s all you

I just wore a shirt

Your weirdness

Caused you to inflict hurt

The superheroes I like

A lot are of the race female

You see a body in a costume

I see way more

Do you know

This hero

Or is your insult

That of one

Who knows zero

I’d love to talk with you

Explain the things I like and do

But an open heart and mind

Is the choice left up to you

Stop making fun of my shirt

Your comments really hurt
