my body

my body doesn't belong to me.

ive shown it to those who don't love me

ive shown it to those who betray me

ive shown my body more than I have received love

my body doesn't belong to me

not anymore..

no matter how much I try to get ownership over my body 

pictures and memories keep me captive

captive in the mens eyes who've done me wrong

captive in my own self torment

my body doesn't belong to me

I don't want to be seen in lust 

I want to be seen with love 

is love real? 

yes love is real 

but for me, 

lust is all I receive
