questioning

i run a hand down my breasts
caress the soft curve of
my body.


who first saw my body and
called it “girl”
deemed it “she”
forced it into “ladylike” clothes
and shaped my identity
around it
?


i cannot help but wonder
what i would have called myself
had i never been forced 
into the category of
“girl”. 


                  (would i have been happier?)
