i just want to be invisible
not be spoken to by a man
or looked at
or touched
or whistled at
i dont want to be made into an enigma
or be looked at with resplendent awe
or fascination
or both
i dont want any man to believe that he owns me
or needs to tell me what to do
i dont need a man to make me feel like a woman
i dont need a man to constantly tell me how attractive i am, and how photogenic..
and i really dont need a man to tell me if he thinks the shape of my body is perfect or not
im sick of the way men believe its their goddamn birthright to expect me to sleep with them
just because i travel alone
and i am spirited, and young and happy!
and thats why i want to be invisible..
not stared at or even looked at
not touched, not even caressed
not spoken to or hooted at
i just want to be..
by myself
all alone
with my thoughts
and my body
and my soul
but as an afterthought
why should i be invisible?
why cant you men grow up instead?
