Your big box ways
Cannot shrink wrap Me
into a submission
that makes you comfortable
with who you think I Should be!
I am not here,
to provide you with comfort
Au contraire!
I am here to make you squirm;
For I am Not neat and tidy
a packaged femme of your oppressive vision!
I am every single woman
You ever abused;
Suffocated in your shrink wrap world,
and I have come Undone,
you Cannot, wrap me back up!
I am messy and I am Loud;
I will regurgitate your vileness
and spit it back at you
with a clarity so undeniable
that it will shatter your frozen soul
for you know it, to be the Truth!
I am all of them, every single one!
and you Cannot win
with mere cling wrap,
for I am No shrinking Violet!
