Let Me Be

For so long I have been ignored and pushed aside for the prettier face and tighter body. I was silenced as I watched the queens of the world talk me down and treat me like a serf. As I grew, my shyness did as well. As I grew, my weight ballooned. As the years passed, I found my voice through novels, speech, debate, and fictional persona. I soon lost the weight and gained self-worth. I now speak against those who use me. They call me a bitch, and I tell them that I don't care. I am a bitch, and that means I am comfortable with myself and I stand up for my beliefs and passions. Let me be. Let me get close to my inner bitch.
