No more
You slimy, slithering little dwarves
calling out to me ‘hi ho’
hi, no
I don't think so
get your beady eyes off my now
I don’t like how you stand there
not far enough away
you don’t see my face
just the clothes and skin that encase my body
hugging me like a man who knows how to show his affection
still he’s polite enough to hide his erection
the clothes that tell you I’m trying to get your attention
attention whore
whore
how am I the whore?
when you would stick it into anything that moves
my skin prickles when I move
with you calling out to my ‘hi ho’
hi, no
I’d call you a man ho
but I shouldn’t have to specify gender
whether or not you have a member
you, sir, are a ho
no no no
don’t laugh off the daggers I’m shooting your way
feel each stab as deep as your humanity falling into a bottomless abyss
I’ll see you down there
because in the heat of the moment
you call me a hot piece of ass
I don't have time to sit down and tell you
I am not a piece of ass
I am not a piece of anything
I am a whole person
do you see me better now, son?
I have lots to offer but you get none
you get frostbite from my shoulder
the words I didn’t say should make you colder
If I was bolder I would say them
instead I walk away
blood rushes to my face
and I swear to myself that one day
I will face you
and every man who thinks me less
than long legs in a dress
calling out to me ‘hi ho’
hi, no
no more
