i am nobody's nothing
so hold your tongue
(it keeps wriggling its way
 into my mouth, stuffing itself
 down my throat)
or bite it if you will,
i'll bite my thumb, sir.

sir, should you allow yourself
to wander the crevices of my body,
you might encounter
all the bumps and lumps
i place here and there
to slow you down, speed bumps
to make you stop and admire
the scenery

because i am nobody's nothing
and everyone's something;

i am his; and his; and his;
 and his; and his;
and yours

Beautiful work :heart: You have the most amazing way of telling stories in a completely new voice.
