My veins are full of iron
I’m not so sweet as you think
When my shadow pours acid rain
Don’t be mad that I muddied your pink
My eyes reflect what you want
To be as you want me to be
When I am the way that I am
Don’t act disappointed in me
My hands are to fondle this earth
To feel what my heart needs to grow
If I pluck something different to you
Don’t tell me I’m wrong and don’t know
My breasts will swell each month
And my body is mine to bleed
When I choose to nurse only myself
Don’t say that I pay you no heed
My legs they have shape and much strength
To explore lands my soul can call home
If you steer me someplace I hate
I’ll walk my next chapter alone.
Crumbs in my belly button
