My Body Was Enough

To all the men that I allowed into my heart,
To all the men that I'd shared my secrets with,
That I trusted, that I loved,
To all those men that abused me,
Abused my love, degraded my trust,
And gave me nothing to look forward to,
I allowed you in, to touch my body,
To search my deepest corners,
And from the beginning, I should've known
That all you desired was the touch of my lips.
You disregarded everything else,
My thoughts, my personality,
My body was enough;
To all those men, I allowed to fool me,
I hate you.
I hate the way you toyed with me,
As if I were a Barbie doll.
I hate the way you'd try to dress me up,
Just to dress me down.
I HATE YOU.
