Is Punk (original)

Is Punk (original)

everyday that i wake,

i step out of bed,

and see the same thing.

every day,

i am a woman,

and everyday,

i am punk.

i am punk 

not because i look it,

but because my existence

defies the world at large.

i was born with holes

in my brain,

and a dead twin,

with a doctor saying,

“she won’t live long”.

i grew up being told to

cover up.

i grew up being told to

listen and obey.

but being a woman means

i refuse to listen to

anyone but me.

no laws can govern

my body

or my thoughts.

i see a woman everyday

and i know

she is punk.
