sometimes i get into writing a poem
and i have to erase it all.
i never want something too real
to leave my fingers.
but, that's poetry,
right?
showing your heart to the world?
some parts of my heart are better left
untouched.
some parts of my body are better left unseen.
that's what fathers are supposed to teach their daughters.
how men should treat them.
so how should they treat me, dad?
- nothing like you ever did. don't fucking touch me.
