My body is not yours
My body is not yours, it's mine
Atleast mum taught me that.
I went into a 9month journey to acquire it and you never helped me not until now.
My body is not yours, it's mine
So don't decide what I do with it. Don't shred my panties into pieces because you want to have a taste of what resides within, you never planted a mango tree between my legs.
My body is not yours,its mine
Because I find myself loving you gives you no total dominance over my body. It's not your entitlement, it's my personal property.
My body is not yours, it's mine
Let me feel comfortable in body without being judged by you whether am XXL, thick or extremely thin. When you have no significant body goals.
My body is not yours,it's mine
Never tell me how loose of a woman am down below when you find yourself feeling loose. You ofcourse have eaten beyond you can remember.
My body is not , it's mine
Respect it just like you will respect your own soul cause I own it to God to give an account of how I used his temple.
My body is not yours, it's mine
If I reject your sexual advances because am not ready, should not make you hate me or make a mockery of my belief.
I am not just some piece of article that should open up when duty calls and closes when work ends. It's my body, the only engine that keeps me going. I feed it with so much care and attention more than you can ever give.
Why do you think you never saw the new scars on it when you brawl over me or notice the fresh marks when you selfishly drool and pounce over my skirt?
It's certainly because;
My body is not yours, it's mine.
