Think you know better
Than me
Who honors my body daily?
Who wears this skin
Who knows what my smile means?
Think you know better
Than me
Who can name every scar
Who wakes and sleeps in this
What is mine, by right of birth
Think you can say what’s best
For my being
Sure you know better
Than me, who carries on
Even after a storm
Even feather-worn
Think you know better, really?
Well think again.
