I feel it today
The distinct
Sensation
Of belief
That my
Body
Need open
Only to Love.
Of course
Men
Want
To fuck me.
Of course
They do.
I needn’t
Let them
Do so
To prove.
They want
To use me.
They do.
I don’t know
If men
Or any man
Wants to love me
But I know
How
To find out.
I know
How
To hold The gate
I know
How
To wait
To hear
The love
Over the static
Of the lust.
I don’t know this
From words.
I learned it
From hurt
So I can
Bless their longing
That wronged me
And bless my
New found
Knowing
That I can
Say no
And be Safe.
