Do you know me? You see me everyday Bustling in the street Answering the phone Sexily glossing my lips Do you notice? I’m trying to catch it But your approval It’s so hard to snare Like a firefly So I starve myself In hopes my thighs May shrink to acceptance Can you tell? Fishnets curve to my legs Maybe business slacks Or a plaid jumper My eyes can’t hide it This longing, deeply cut Like my shirt’s neck Do you see me? Hypocrites To tell us we are free To be anything Liberated, ****** Powerful, worldly Who are they to say We are free? Only so long as we give Relinquish emotions Harbor no expectation In favor of carnality Unchained, as long as We seek not to be loved Will you love me? Will you try?

This Kind of Poor Feminism
Do you know me? You see me everyday Bustling in the street Answering the phone Sexily glossing my lips Do you notice? I’m trying to catch it But your approval It’s so hard to snare Like a firefly So I starve myself In hopes my thighs May shrink to acceptance Can you tell? Fishnets curve to my legs Maybe business slacks Or a plaid jumper My eyes can’t hide it This longing, deeply cut Like my shirt’s neck Do you see me? Hypocrites To tell us we are free To be anything Liberated, ****** Powerful, worldly Who are they to say We are free? Only so long as we give Relinquish emotions Harbor no expectation In favor of carnality Unchained, as long as We seek not to be loved Will you love me? Will you try?
