There’s a piece of me
thrown in ungraspable territory
Forever captured by bigotry -
belonging to those who silently used me.
Unknowingly, I was greeting it -
Smiling as teachers witness absurdities
Thankful as they complimented my body
Proud when the shy guy finally touched me.
Little did I know it was demeaning
I’ve been deceived about the relevance of my skin
Not abused nor victimised
We’d laugh - so much it was normalised.
Later defiance sprang from envy
I’d bring a knife to the party, act a little sassy
I’d talk back when they chased me, wear a skirt insolently.
Just testing boundaries as they fancy my body -
may I help them **** off at the sight of me?
//
And after all that time there’s a piece in me
One part shame one part indignity
Forever confused and tranquilly fury.
