Peace

I couldnt be in a place

Where my skin signals advantage

Taken

I couldnt be in a place

Where my sex signals advantage

Taken

I couldnt be in a place

Where my hair signals advantage

Taken

I couldnt be in a place

Where my accent signals advantage

Taken

I couldnt be in a place

Where i exist

As i am taken

And returned

With no signs of advantage

Taken

Just my thoughts

My beliefs

My soul

Your body.

  1. I love a poem that makes me go back and read it multiple times. I feel conviction here...I feel sensuality...
