You think I'm cute
and kind of cool,
But you don't want me to try to be
on top.
You'd love to touch me,
because I'm a womyn.
But since I'm proud of my
sex,
You'd rather not.
You think I'm smart,
too smart, in fact.
You'd rather I hide what I
know.
You like that I speak the
truth.
You hate that I can handle your
truth.
You think I'm a natural beauty, but
you wonder
why I don't put on paint and hide
what I've been given.
You wish I would.
You've made a mold, but I don't
fit.
I'm too proud of my size, my sex,
my Self.
I'm a womyn.
I love those words.
I like me.
So do you,
But you don't like that I like me
too.
You're terrified.
You're a guy.
You like you.
You don't have to hide what you
like.
You can be real.
I should be false.
You can be smart.
I should play dumb.
You make the rules.
I should play along.
You can be happy, though I'm a
mess.
You get to stand tall on all you
oppress.
But you
can not,
should not,
will not,
stand on me.
I'm a womyn.
And I like it.
We are womyn.
We are beautiful.
We are smart.
We are strong.
We don't care if you like
it.
It's your turn to play
along.
