Do Not Try To Tame Me


365 Days of Creativity

day ninety two

I am not your girl to impress
              your dame to undress
              your damsel distressed

I am not your woman to woo
              your skirt to pursue
              your pigeon to coop

I am not your trophy to claim
              your lion to tame
              your habit to break

I am not your star to adore
              your island to shore
              your song to record

I cannot be branded and chained
              traded and slaved
              whipped and ashamed

I refuse to drop to a knee
              kiss on your ring
              battle or sing

I deny your title of king
              for what is a king
but a clown wearing mink?

I am not the 'divine feminine'
              for that is a term
              made up by men

'Lesser' or 'greater'
'better' or 'worse';
nothing but labels,
inaccurate words

Man or a woman,
bird or a beast,
nothing but bodies
by lifetimes are leased

              For people are humans
              no more than stars are just flames
              we are not our genders,
                              bodies, or brains

              you are a soul
              a brave entity
        who re-enters this world
            to learn endlessly
