Excuse Me
May 23, 2017
Excuse me
I am not a 3
I am not a 7, nor a 5, or a 2
Excuse me, but I will not list the girls in our class
On your scale of 1 to 10 too
Excuse me, but my body
My soul and my mind are not some sort of merchandise
Where is my bar-code? My label? Organic, cage-free, grade A?
Excuse me, but your insecurities
Are not currency
That can buy my attention
I am a person
So don’t rate me
F*** you very much
I’m irrationally me

This piece was a bit of a rant piece, inspired by a group of boys who were rating all the girls in the class by their appearances.
