My Thigh

You know what she said?

“Maybe he likes you,”

As if I should be happy

As if I should feel flattered

As if I am being dramatic

As if I am acting unreasonably

Maybe she’s right

I don’t know why I wasn’t jumping for joy when he leaned against me

I don’t know why I wasn’t feeling complimented when he had his hand on my thigh

I’m sorry that pushing his hand away makes me dramatic

I’m sorry that speaking up makes me unreasonable
