Natural Queen
poem/screed about female beauty standards
My natural body's a sin to mankind...
It's hairy in places that men do not like.
Sorry, I'm a grown woman,
Not a Chia pet for trimmin',
Wax your balls then you can tell me how to do my bikini line.
/
I got rolls, stretchmarks, cellulite,
Things that Cosmo says aren't right.
"Try this diet,
Try this lotion,
Try this cream to make your pussy tight."
/
I have just one suggestion...
Can we stop doing shit just to please men?
My body ain't a vending machine,
You don't get to choose from A and B,
I'm choosing to be me, a natural queen.
/
I'm gonna do my fucking workouts...
Gonna shake my fat ass while you flip out...
Gonna take up space,
Smile at your rage,
While your girlfriend eats me out.
/
Just admit that you're into me,
You hate it because I think you're nasty,
Not in the good way,
More like the white hood way,
This misplaced blame makes me think you're faschie.
/
I have just one suggestion...
Can we stop doing shit just to please men?
My body ain't a vending machine,
You don't get to choose from A and B,
I'm choosing to be me, a natural queen.

2026,
It's the year of the unhinged bitch.
I'm not masking,
Open attacking,
Any man who gives me shit.
I don't care if you're cute,
The shit you're saying is fucking stupid...
It's misogynistic to think,
These beauty standards should influence
Our cultures, creeds,
Our emotional needs,
Only feeds consumerist greed,
And gives money to the pedo elites.
/
I have just one suggestion...
Can we stop doing shit just to please men?
My body ain't a vending machine,
You don't get to choose from A and B,
I'm choosing to be me, a natural queen.

There is a lot of emotional vibrance to this poem. As a man, who's never met you in real life, may I step in to apologize for all of the things that men have said to you to make you feel less than in any way? From the bottom of my heart I express my heartfelt compassion to you for feeling like you had to be, or look, a certain way in order to please anyone. You are beautiful, strong, and smart, just as you are! I hope you have a great rest of your day.
Wow, excellent. This holds nothing back, a fiercely compelling and well deserved rant against harmful notions of beauty. Sometimes it’s cathartic even to read something that’s angry in a righteous way. Those insane beauty standards aren’t just misogynistic, theyre also pedophilic. I’m glad you called that out with the admonishment of ad campaigns that funnel profits to the pedo billionaires class. Society’s obsession with women looking youthful and hairless is actually gross. And personally it makes no sense. I think women look their best in their early forties. Faces just look better when they mature, when they look less neotenous and lose that softness of the twenties. But every cream, lotion, soap and hair treatment, even deodorants are marketed by making people feel insecure and uncomfortable with or repulsed by their own natural bodies. It’s like come on. wtf. Also the beauty standards that the media funnels down our throats to tell men what to like and to tell women how to look, these beauty standards are often openly Eurocentric, sometimes to the point of such exclusion that they’re literally racist. Like that Sydney Sweeney good jeans/ genes campaign. Yuck. Solid poem, brings up lots of feeling and a bold criticism of the way the beastly industry willingly harms their own customers all to increase profit. Awesome work
This is the first poem I've read on Vocal ... I think I'm going to like it here! 🫶
Such a powerful piece that I am going to adopt this line into my being: "2026, It's the year of the unhinged bitch." Congratulations on your outstanding top story, CT❣👏🔥
👏 👏 👏 louder for those in back!!
Yes!
Hauntingly powerful… Congrats on the Top Story!
Right there with you!
I cannot tell you just how much I enjoyed reading this! I'd "heart" it ten times if I could. It's staggering to think that keeping a woman's body "unnatural" fuels an entire industry. So glad this was top-storied for the world to see!;🎉🎉🎉
Very powerful!
Yes!!! I think the picture should say "men get to be men."
Most Queens do things to please themselves. Some people has not learn that the road to happiness is to please yourself.
