weapon of choice

side hugs are like

performative wokeness;

shallow, flaky, meaningless

convenient, censored -

appealing, yes?

appeasing, too, i guess.

but no

i demand the real deal

furnish me with both arms

disregard my weak frame,

i promise, i wont break

let me have it

im not a snowflake

just a girl who

likes to take

on the world

with hugs

as her weapon of choice.
