You roll your eyes
Tut at me
Like I've somehow forgotten my place
Suddenly too big for these lines you drew around me
And now I am a threat
Words like razor blades
Of truth and equality
Too sharp for you to swallow.
But it was you.
It was you who forgot your place long ago
When a woman's right to defend herself
Was deemed less important than your ego.
I will always burst out the seams
Of these stitches that spell compliance
You thread into my female skin.
