Constant Comments

by jessi-robinson

I am a girl I shave my legs I do my makeup I am a girl I am not stereotype I have short hair I am thin, you can see my ribs and hip bones I am not stereotype I am not your constant comments Dyke, lesbian, anorexic Freak I am not your constant comments I am a girl I have feelings I have small breasts I have bleach spots on my skin I have really short hair I bite my fingernails I like to smell flowers I am the little spoon I wear cute clothes I like to look pretty I am a girl I will not build myself to your standards I will not destroy myself for your beliefs I will not belittle myself for your pity I will be me I will have short hair and kiss boys I will eat whatever I want want and watch my weight Because what I am is considered healthy I will have feelings even though they destroy me I will look pretty because why the fuck not? I will be the little spoon because I feel safe I will be a girl who isn't defined by sterotypes and Constant Comments

Notes

The "I am a girl" stanzas aren't meant to be stereotypical, they are meant to just be me stating what I do to make me happy and feel like a girl. I am not a hypocrite.
