I am a man walking down the street
No fears of who might **** me.

I am white person in a corner store not worrying that the owner thinks I’m stealing.

I am a ******* addict with diplomatic immunity.

I am a college student complaining I have nothing to eat.

I can have *** with my consenting partner freely.

I’m not sent to war, my village is not bombed, I’m not shot at school and have food to eat.

So why do I complain, why can’t I see how lucky I am to be me.

no

Why can't i dance without a man thinking they're entitled to my body,
touching me, feeling me, with out asking me.

Why can't i report what you've done without destroying me.

Ouch

I'm too dangerous he said,
while i stared at the bruises that he left on me,
or the mental trauma he had caused me.

It's like all i've ever been good for is to be used, and abused and spat on and chewed.

Zoo animals

You would do anything to spend one more second with them because you know they wouldn’t spend a life with you.

Self harm

Why are you so disgusted at the thought of harming someone else when you want to do it to yourself.

Photographer

When she was younger
all she wanted to be
was a model.

But as she grew up
she was told
that she wasn't pretty enough.

Maybe one day she can be the photographer.
