Being a Mujer

Please step out of your body and try to understand mine
Because when I walk at night I feel so alone and blind.
I look to my left and I look to my right, and I see men like you staring at me with your beady little eyes looking down my spine.
And I walk in fear and live in fear not just for myself but for my daughter, my sister, my mother, and my grandmother.
Because as womyn we have two heads to hold and two things to carry: our body and dignity.
And even though I’m covered from head to toe, because it is cold, you still know I’m a womin.
Is it because I have two things popping out of me? Or is it the innocence in my eyes and the hesitance I have when a male walks by?

So listen up little fucker.
You only think with your two inch thing
and
You may try to succeed and steal that one thing that keeps me- me.
My virginity, my pride, my womanhood but you will never forget this voice, because as long as I got my soul, I will continue to shout, write, and shame you to hell. Because my body, and her body, and their body is one thing you shall never take.

Of course, you can take my body literally and take it physically.
But you cannot take something that I control and respect so dearly.
My body, my temple, my home, my space.
Un lugar de cambio, un lugar de dolar, y un lugar de felicidad.
So step back you piece of shit, because when you invade my space, you are colonizing my freedom.
My freedom to exist as a mujer con poder.
