It’s almost as if my body wasn’t mine
Opinions rain down around me
Regardless of the season
By the time I learned
not to listen
I had become a cynic
~
One time I stood in the midst of them
and shouted
“I am single by choice”
This is how I saved myself
because even if you want to be of service
They think you are for sale
~
He was behind me in line
and thought it was ok
to massage my ears
He did not ask
I told him never to do that again
But I still feel sick
when I think about it
I guess prison taught him nothing
~
I taught the children the names
of their body parts
Told them if someone stole them
to fight and scream forever
and I got reprimanded
But I was empowering
the ones I loved most
and I would do it again
~
Because this world is not kind
to those who are vulnerable
