Invisible?

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?
