Definition of Flawless
I don't appreciate
when you approach me
just to tell me that I'm so blessed
with such a sexy body.
And you have no right
to be offended when
I don't kiss the ground you walk on
for such a blatant violation
of personal appreciation.
Clearly you live life
serving other women
through your own definition-
I don't see it that way in my eyes.
You don't know me,
but somehow I've already
been sold and paid for
by your expectation of well-deserved reward.
I don't know you,
but very quickly I am beginning to.
Don't stand so close to me,
my space is my right as a human being.
You want me to cower
behind your unsmiling eyes.
I refuse to be the vulnerable play thing
that society presents me to be.
I am no child's toy
with a satisfaction guarantee.
Enough manipulation.
I refuse to conform
to your expectation of 'kind'
Your demands are so ugly-
and the sight of my power
reflected in your own eyes
is the definition of flawlessness.
