a Few Words

You are a piece of art

It makes me feel tired
when I am called pretty instead of
smart, extraordinary, creative
As if my look was the only thing defining my
capability

When I meet a man
my first questions will be about his passions
his dreams
his goals

Why can they not ask the same?
Why are we diminished so much
so often
so loudly

I am more than my looks
and know that when you don’t see that
you are losing me
A piece of art
