Flame-Licked Heels

I’ve been working on

Coming back from

The dead

Realising reality

Becoming me

I don’t have to know who I am

But I must know that I am

I am, I am, I am

I don’t have to know what I am

What Makes A Woman

 

No !

I am not a “thick badie”

And I am definitely not a snack for you to eat me

Also I am not your “average skinny bitch”
