Do not touch me
Do not comment on my appearance
Do not look at me as if I am nothing
Do not act like I am yours
I am me
When will you see that I am mine
I own myself
And yet you still seem
To control me
Do not deny
What you have done
Do not say
I liked it
Do not talk
About me and ignore my existence
When will you see that I am mine
When will it be clear what not to do
I am me
You don’t own me
Stop acting like you do
I am everything you wish you were
Stop
Don’t even dare
She is hers
I am mine
Stop
Telling
Woman
What
They
Can
And
Can't
Do
This is not ok
You think
Just because
When you were born
And the nurse held you up
Saying,
"It's a boy"
I have never wanted
Something more than I do now
The problem is
I don't know what
I don't know what
I long for
What I reach for
It's like a dream
Blurry and unrecognizable
I want this thing
In the car
After dark
With the headlights shining
On the wet pavement
Like stars on the ground
I curl up in my seat
And the news is on
Voices fill the car
Not my own
Not my dads
