My Body

Mmm

Tried to love my skin
To start a new beginning
But I guessed I missed my in
Cause I'm only left with begging

To feel safe alone
When I'm walking home
Feels like every man around
Is out to get me
'Cause of my anatomy

They used to be disgusted
At my bigger body
Now they act possessive
Like it's easier to stop me

From saying no to their face
Or running away
But how do I escape my very own body
That's my body

When you see me
I want to be seen as whole
But all you see
Is a game to win a hole

So while you take my W
I'll take the L
And turn it into Lyrics, lessons, and legendary tales
of how I broke free, from misogyny
with my very own body

Ooh
My own body

Anxiety is heightened
When I'm feeling sexy
'Cause when my dress is tightened
Apparently that's asking

For this disrespect
And unwanted texts
Not asking how I'm doing, but what'd they'd do to me
I wasn't asking, no

When you see me
I want to be seen as whole
But all you see
Is a game to win a hole

So while you take my W
I'll take the L
And turn it into Lyrics, lessons, and legendary tales
of how I broke free, from misogyny
with my very own body
Oh, my own body

You say not all men but all women are afraid
You might not be predatory but we all feel like
Prey
Prey (prey)
So I pray

That when you see me
That you'll see me as whole
But if you don't see
Then don't look at me at all

I'll take my W, and you'll take the L
And I'll turn it into a warrior who will give you hell
I am reclaiming, my body
My whole body
Oh, my holy body
My very own body
