Don't Touch Me

I don't let anyone touch
My hips or thighs.
As soon as their hand
Makes contact with those
Areas,
My body becomes tense
And my eyes glaze over
With fear,
Clouded by the flashback
To my birthday.

I can't be touched anymore
Because you touched my skin
Without consent.

No matter who it is,
My mind and body
Go back to that morning.
I feel your fingertips
Carefully making a map
On my skin,
Coming close to the destination
Before your hand quickly moves
As I start to 'wake'.
Funny how you
Didn't know I was
Awake from the start.

I didn't stop you right away,
Only because I was in shock.
I couldn't move,
Tears stinging my eyes,
My heart dropped.

You went back to
Your mission though.
I had to slap your
Hand away multiple
Times before you
Had given up.

Don't Touch Me.
