Scratch until I bleed,
I feel nothing.
Tear away at my flesh,
I wished for a new skin.
1 that isn’t tainted
with such poison.
Invaded from time
And time again.
Only, but a product of
a patriarchal society.
This mind,
this body,
for long felt it hadn’t
belonged to me.
No more.
No more,
Will I sit passively
and be told how to behave.
A free agent I am,
For some time,
this I had craved.
