Heaven forbid I decide to claim my sexuality, as the tool it is, in this patriarchal society
Heaven forbid I use this to carve out some sort of safety for myself
Heaven forbid I no longer have to perform emotional labor that no-one ever speaks of
In exchange for monetary security
All of this, coming from my sexuality
How dare I
I stepped out of line?
I think
I used what’s mine
How dare I refuse your condescending opinion
And form my own
Think for myself?
What have I become
How dare I take intelligence of the heart and give it a voice through my art
How Dare I
