The Book Of Abby

i am

I am a female

I am more than the hourglass

I am more than my undressed

I am more than any man

I am more than any grimy hands to rush across my skin

I am more than anyone behind me

I am more than my past

More than both friend and foe

I am more than the sick names

Slut, hoe, whore, bitch

I am more than the filthy phrases that will blow my way

I am more than the mirror

Or this text

I am more than you think I am

I am not fighting for anyone's respect anymore

I am me

I am happy with myself

I will love myself little by little

I will not be pushed around

I love who I love

I am happy now

Just hoping I can stay this way for a while

God knows I need it
