Poem I wrote for my creative writing final
And today born;
bare
untroubled few seconds,
unconventional,
unembarrassed
angst is best friend
after.
Society –
only hidden
body beautiful.
Only man;
pleasure his
stop being
uncovered body
acceptable
dignifying
redemption
(how?)
For the sake of
self.
This . is. NOT.
How you revolution.
Instead
become whore;
attention
whole
sanctuary un pure.
I plucked nudes
out of my favorites’ folder
in my iPhone.
Samurai their only audience –
months of “ should I post them?”
Months of
“but I want to.”
Is it bad
vulnerability
is probably what appealed to me most?
I am always courageous
BECAUSE of fear
and doubt;
they are my adrenaline shots.
No spiteful man tried me on for size
but, still I worry
cause today I was born
my way for the first time;
I be forsaker.
I bore chains so long;
they still shake
when I move
and I don’t want
religion
and misogyny
catching rides on them
while
anxiety denies freedom;
cause she doesn’t know what comes
with it.
