does my being provoke you?
does the way I say my name make your blood churn?
does the way I stand on my feet make you uncomfortable?

I hope so.
because is the other option
is that you would think you have the right to
the way I stand,
the way I talk,
the way I am.
you think you hold the title deed to my body

o, you are not entitled to anything.
the way I move is not for you
the way I sing is not for you

so I hope my being provokes you.
I hope I made your skin crawl.
