An anxiety-motivated poem inspired from a look I got from a stranger that terrified me


Defenceless

Some say "look but don't touch"

But sometimes, a look hurts nearly as much as a touch
revealing thoughts that chokes my heart with fear

and in those moments I understand
why some women feel safer veiled behind sheets
of bitchy coldness
or of cloth

I am defenceless against your thoughts
