My Body is Mine

To the man

who thought he was cool

catcalling a twelve year old

as he drove by;

my body is mine

To the boys

in high school

who saw my shape

as a license to grab;

my body is mine

To the men

who treat my tits

as entertainment at parties,

props for their jokes;

my body is mine 

To the date

who thought the onslaught of no's

were a challenge

to turn them into a yes;

my body is mine

To the girl

who finally

said

yes...

your body is mine

To you, me,

too timid to walk away

when no was not enough,
say it;

My body is mine.
