Introduction:
Em
Do you know me?
Am
Really know me?
Em
You have opinions about my opinions
Am
About my music
Em
About my clothes
About my body
Am
Some people hate what I wear
Some people praise it
Em
Some people use it to shame others
Some people use it to shame me
Am
But I feel you watching
Always
Em
And nothing I do goes unseen
So while I feel your stares, your disapproval
Am
Or your sigh of relief
If I lived by them, I'd never be able to move
Em
Would you like me to be smaller
Weaker, softer, taller?
Am
Would you like me to be quiet?
Do my shoulders provoke you? Does my chest?
Em
AmI
The body I was born with
Am
Is it not what you wanted?
Em
If I wear what is comfortable, I am not a woman
Am
If I shed the layers, I'm a slut
Though you've never seen my body
Em
You still judge it
And judge me for it
Am
Why?
We make assumptions about people
Em
We decide who they are
We decide what they're worth
Am
If I wear more, if I wear less
Who decides what that makes me, what that means?
Em
Is my value based only on your perception?
Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility?
