Don't act like I'm some kind of radical
because of the tattoos on my arms.
Yes, they're bold political statements
they're also the product of a lot of resentment.
You have no right to judge my mentality
when you know absolutely nothing about me,
or it, or anything really. Because it isn't easy
to get to know me, and you'd rather not take
the time it takes to really know someone.
When you help my arm for ten minutes
sizing up each scar, mark and brand I
could hear the thoughts inside your head
wondering if you could really ever have me
anywhere other than in bed.
I answered you, before I realized you hadn't said it yet.
And you just stared at me.
I wouldn't be anything like you hope.
