Keep Your Hate Off My Body

keep your hate off my body
all rights reserved
this body
gifted to me at birth
fulfills one destiny

keep your hate off my body
all rights reserved
this body
gifted to me at birth
fulfills one destiny
it is mine alone
to manage and adore
anyone or anything more
is invite-only

keep your volitions off my body
I hold exclusive privileges
independently, I understand
how to love, nurture, heal, and hold
my body and all its contents
other opinions
will be guided to my needs
and possibly, the door

keep your fallacies off my body
through blood, trust, and tears
I’ve earned the credentials
to oversee my vessel of being
nobody else
has bled or shed for my hardships
and delusional agendas nullify my trust

keep your oblivion off my body
the abiding education I embrace
on my feminal needs
triumphs over unreasonable pretense
unqualified mouthpieces add nothing
healthy, wholehearted, or otherwise
to my life equation

keep your hate, volitions, fallacies, and oblivion
to yourself
and I promise not to tell you
where to shove them
after all
they are yours alone to manage
