Ladies! We were made to be eaten Chewed up by men Spit out Objectified Beaten the crap out Put down Who are we to judge? We were made in God's image We were made in man's image We were never made in our own image Lay down your sticks Open your thighs And scream at the injustice in the world Silently

Gender roles
Is like revenge without the even. Is not much different than desire. Is worse than a blow of smoke. Is happy when you rain. Is cancer on a bad day. Am I. Oh, How I love you so.

ressentiment
I stumble through every second, Every frame of physical progression, Sleepwalking with my eyes wide open. Distinction between Conscious and unconscious, Real and unreal, Alive and dead Mix, swirl, and then blend together On Infinity's timeless masterpiece, Continuum. I walk like the dead among the living. I walk like the living among the dead, Staggering in a haze, Following Fate's gentle nudge, Until a wind sweeps away my life in a single breath.

Sleepwalking with my eyes wide open
The name Audrey is A girl's name of British origin. "Noble strength." Its roots entrenched In the dirt of Western history. A name is supposed to define you, shape you, Be the linguistic representation of you. So shaped have I become in a white girl's name; I have never tried even to know my own. Never even given a chance. How can I be Korean American, Looking in the mirror, All I can see is an American girl? The wrong face and distinctly Asian. Searching for traces of where "Korean" could be, I find none. One soul in the wrong body, in the wrong place, in the wrong name.
