Make it Write

Play Along
by Megan Blanck-Weiss 

You think I'm cute and kind of cool,

But you don't want me to try to be on top.

You'd love to touch me,

because I'm a womyn.

But since I'm proud of my sex,

You'd rather not.

You think I'm smart,

too smart, in fact.

You'd rather I hide what I know.

You like that I speak the truth.

You hate that I can handle your truth.

You think I'm a natural beauty, but you wonder

why I don't put on paint and hide what I've been given.

You wish I would.

You've made a mold, but I don't fit.

I'm too proud of my size, my sex, my Self.

I'm a womyn.

I love those words.

I like me.

So do you,

But you don't like that I like me too.

 

You're terrified.

You're a guy.

You like you.

You don't have to hide what you like.

You can be real.

I should be false.

You can be smart.

I should play dumb.

You make the rules.

I should play along.

You can be happy, though I'm a mess.

You get to stand tall on all you oppress.

But you

can not,

should not,

will not,

stand on me.

I'm a womyn.

And I like it.

We are womyn.

We are beautiful.

We are smart.

We are strong.

We don't care if you like it.

It's your turn to play along.
