My Body
My body be
young and dumb.
My body be
asking what’s going on.
My body be
“too much.”
My body be
wanting to be rid of your touch.
My body be
discarded after you’re done.
My body be
still and numb.
My body be
the sour candy you spit out.
My body be
wondering why everything changed.
My body be
trying to take off the stains.
My body be
feeling deranged.
My body be
struggling with my age.
My body be
wanting to ask why.
My body be
neglecting to look into your unremorseful eyes.
My body be
wanting to scream and cry.
My body be
flinching when you touch my thighs.
My body be
thinking i’m naive for not saying a word.
My body be
trying to depict the blurs.
My body be
filled with the feeling of fault.
My body be
wishing someone noticed i was distraught.
My body be
wanting to forget while wiping my tears.
My body be
closing the door on your words.
My body be
admiring my curves.
My body be
no longer cursed.
My body be
no longer yours.
My body be
completely mine.
