Because my body is not mine

Because my body is something to leave and to return to

To search for, somewhere In soil, breathing and buried and breathing again

Because my body spills, from wounds we refuse to name

Perhaps then a lullaby, perhaps then I sing a song for Ophelia and every body before and after hers 

I obeyed and still

I bared my teeth and still

I covered and still

I stayed home and still

I was unpainted and still

I was a child and still

I was an adult and still

I moved cities and still

I lived with roommates and still

I lowered my eyes and still

I cut my hair and still

I was polite and still

I was silent and still

I was alone once

I was lonely

It was dark

It was daylight

I was a girl and like a girl I knew

I bruised , I bled, I died - Safia Elhillo
