"I've been hunting for you." I took this for flattery instead of the true life-threatening statement that it was with a mind warped from endless gaslighting and disappointment and lowly expectations that women are meant to own, I swallowed threat as compliment. Threat upon my mind, my body, my soul, asking me to leave behind all three to be devoured, to satiate the man. To leave behind all three because they were not mine to own. To leave behind all three, to be the hollow beautiful sack that men want to own.

"I've been hunting for you." I took this for flattery instead of the true life-threatening statement that it was with a mind warped from endless gaslighting and disappointment and lowly expectations that women are meant to own, I swallowed threat as compliment. Threat upon my mind, my body, my soul, asking me to leave behind all three to be devoured, to satiate the man. To leave behind all three because they were not mine to own. To leave behind all three, to be the hollow beautiful sack that men want to own.
