Body

Body

I say I have a voice,

they say no, you have teeth,

that aren’t white, enough

I say I have strength,

they say no you have an ass,

that is not big, enough.

I say I have a point of view,

they say no, you have eyes,

that aren’t bright, enough.

I say I have a mind,

they say no, you have hair,

that isn’t shiny, enough

I say I have power,

they say no, you have thighs,

that aren’t small, enough.

I say I am a soul,

they say no you are,

just, a, body.

And I begin to believe,

them
