When I was a teen I was the girl guys hid
They were embarrassed to be seen with me
and now in my middle age men want to brag
about fucking me even if it was that one time
and while Iβm not ashamed of my sexuality
I still hate this misogynist reality of
how my body and my sexual intensity
makes me fodder for menβs sexism
maybe itβs toxic masculinity
Or maybe men canβt see past my powerful sexual energy
They need to remember Iβm also crazy
and when they relegate me to a sexual object
they become my subject for my salty poetry
