Free-Verse - Spoken Word:
Bm7Bm7
Do you know me?
Amaj7Amaj7
Really know me?
Bm7Bm7 Amaj7Amaj7
You have opinions about my opinions
Bm7Bm7
About my music
About my clothes
Amaj7Amaj7
About my body
Bm7Bm7
Some people hate what I wear
Some people praise it
Amaj7Amaj7
Some people use it to shame others
Some people use it to shame me
Bm7Bm7
But I feel you watching
Always
Amaj7Amaj7
And nothing I do goes unseen
Bm7Bm7
So while I feel your stares, your disapproval or your sigh of relief
If I lived by them, I'd never be able to move
Amaj7Amaj7
Would you like me to be smaller, weaker, softer, taller?
Bm7Bm7
Would you like me to be quiet?
Do my shoulders provoke you? Does my chest?
Bm7Bm7
A minorAm I my stomach? My hips?
The body I was born with
Bm7Bm7
Is it not what you wanted?
Amaj7Amaj7
If I wear what is comfortable, I am not a woman
Bm7Bm7
If I shed the layers, I'm a slut
Amaj7Amaj7
Though you've never seen my body, you still judge it
And judge me for it
Why?
Bm7Bm7
We make assumptions about people based on their size
Amaj7Amaj7
We decide who they are
We decide what they're worth
Bm7Bm7
If I wear more, if I wear less
Who decides what that makes me, what that means?
Amaj7Amaj7
Is my value based only on your perception?
N.C.
Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility?
