Poem

I don't need a magic piece of paper to tell me I'm a woman~
I don't need to undergo a blood ritual to prove my womanhood~
My identity is not property of the state~
I am a non-citizen , governed by no man, beast, or computer program~
I move in secret, though in plain sight~
I am beyond abstraction, forming my myself out of the void~
I am no mans property~
I am no woman's novel acquaintance~
I am no child's perverse joke~
I am free of the trance of civilization~
I need no correction~
I don't need your direction~
Will you walk the earth free with me?
~It's time to wake up.
