My Beautiful Woman Skin
I see male faces in different spaces
Frowns and torment conforming to their despair
I stare upon their eyes and find myself lost within their souls
I fold into into an envelope and slip myself underneath their nose
A door never open yet I want closure
My kindness is used as a pen to write dark stories that have no end
Their wounds open and bleeding and no matter how long I stay pleading for them to be fixed
The cuts continue to tear and they rely on me to hold them and show that I care
But I have open wounds too
They are dirty and becoming infected
I’ve neglected my grievances
And I’ve repeatedly elected myself to be the doctor for men and their self inflicted pain
I’ve even exposed myself to their viruses and became ill
And whose their to hold my hand?
Who their to put my broken pieces together?
Where can I lay my trauma?
My heart has been weaken by all the drama
That I chose to indulge in.
I chose to be the counselor
The friend
The sex doll to fall asleep in
And once done with one man I find the next to heal with my kindness and pleasurable skin
But not anymore
I’m not here to close an unopened door
I’m not the bandage to place on a man’s torn ego
He can fix it himself
He can guide himself
Pay his own dues
Because I have open wounds too
I don’t intend to let them scar me
I will find peace and overcome my challenges
I will embrace myself
And I will be brand new
No open wounds
No lesions
Just me inside my beautiful woman skin
