Body Song

 

No one  ever taught me to claim my body

Now it’s everyone’s else’s

A barren wasteland of landscapes

Chemical burns and 9 hour shifts

Touches slowly disintegrating into skin cells

 

I never claimed my body now it’s everyone else’s

Like a yearbook with too many signatures

Wasteful lump of tendons

Bones and boo

December chills

I never claimed my body so he claimed it for me.

And we are grateful forever.
