Brialee Turner

I don’t like
It when men
(Or anyone else),
But especially men use
Words to describe
My body that
I don’t want them to use.

Don’t call me cute,
I feel infantilized.

Don’t call me skinny,
You don’t know how
much I starved my body.

You heard a portion
Of what I said,
But not everything.

Please don’t use
Adjectives or labels
For my body
That I don’t choose
To use
Myself.
