The faded gray text that is seemingly innocent, There to show me that this, here, is where I write my words. But today, November 9th 2016, looking at the word "body" here scares me. It reminds me that I no longer own mine. I am a Bisexual Woman. And today I have lost my pride in that, Because we, America, have voted a racist, homophobic, sexist, and hateful man into office.

"Body"
The faded gray text that is seemingly innocent, There to show me that this, here, is where I write my words. But today, November 9th 2016, looking at the word "body" here scares me. It reminds me that I no longer own mine. I am a Bisexual Woman. And today I have lost my pride in that, Because we, America, have voted a racist, homophobic, sexist, and hateful man into office.
