Loss

nothing belongs to me my face has been held by calloused hands turned however they saw fit. lips covered in theirs how it belong to me ? how could i love it hands clasped tightly around my neck how could i caress it nothing belonged to me it belongs to them my body to the men that feed it food fear it belongs to them wanna tell me about love of self i find it hard loving things that never belonged to me such as my body that burned in their beds now im left with ashes to love flimsy evading i belonged in their bedrooms silenced how could i love a voice i never heard was it lovely ? teach me teach me how to love myself teach me how to love things that never belonged to me
