Boundaries

Just because I’M sexual doesn’t mean that we should SEX  
Just because YOU’RE sexual doesn’t mean that WE should SEX  
And what it NEVER means is sexualise ME as a result of MY art and soul  
That’s just your reaction  
Not attraction  
I’m just a vessel  
Of expression  
That is ALL  
 
You’ve objectified ME sexually  
And above all else that disrespects ME and more  
It degrades the woman  
It disrespects the art  
Quite frankly it just makes me ANGRY  
 
Just because I’m attractive doesn’t mean you know who I AM  
Just because you’re a MAN doesn’t mean I need to know who you ARE either  
I’m just simply a spirit  
Simply a BEING  
Channeling the energies of THIS fucked up world  
I’m expressing my own reality  
Seeking my OWN clarity  
Can you handle that?
Ta  
   
I’m exploring the often unsaid  
Which is completely OKAY to do  
But don’t dress it UP under the guise of honesty  
Don’t LIE to me to get a RISE from me  
Don’t tell me we kissed when we DIDN’T  
Don’t tell ME I should remember YOU  
Don’t pretend it’s not crossing a line  
Don’t expect me to JUMP just cos you personally asked  
What a fucking task!  
It just breaks the trust  
It belittles the person  
Quite frankly it’s all a step too FAR  
 
And I don’t mean this just in regards to poetry  
And I don’t mean this just in regards to art  
You represent MEN  
You represent MAN    
Stop putting your bullshit on ME  
Do us all a big favour if that’s okay with you  
And GO and get YOURSELF some fucking THERAPY!
