Written by a man

I was an actor in your movie

A perfect woman written by men

But in reality I’m just a song composed by Mitski

You view me through the lens of lust, calling me your slut

But truth be told I’m just a girl

Using Taylor Swift’s words to express her whirl

I had never thought about jumping in your sea

I preferred my parched earth’s plea

Where fighting it’s not a choice

I preferred fighting instead of letting your fishes devour my skin

I brought fire with me

To light your darkness

But all I found was a criminal scene

Where I need saving

Where I need to find the door

To release these captive souls

That you have served of their bodies
