Cat Collar

And I would love
 To just walk home
 No shadows in my footsteps
 Unhurried and alone
 But my body is purchase and my
 Freckles are targets and my
 Legs are stakeable and these
 Stairs aren't shakeable and from
 Twelve years old i've been too
 Modest or bold not
 Blood and bone but a thing
 To own
 I'm sick of people taking my words as (?) faking
 That I don't love this attention and i'm lucky to be mentioned
 As fortunate or fair (?) ways to be compared
 Because life, must be so easy, for a girl
 With looks like mine
 ...
 And i'm
 Not like all the rest with (?) on their breast
 Too flashy too plain
 Too small too tame
 Too big too tall
 Not too bad at all
 Too boyish too girly
 And always happy surely just smile
 Baby smile
 Let me look at you awhile
 And if I make a fuss
 On the street or on the bus
 I'm a bitch or i'm a slut
 Always to be appraised
 No matter how I behave
 And I would just
 And I would just
 And I
 Would love
 To just. Walk. Home
