We eat everything that’s forced upon us, we swallow everything that’s shoved down our throats, the anger, the erasure, the lies, the secrets the violence but eventually we stop, we say “no more” we sew up our mouths and start erasing ourselves. and every woman, every woman I’ve ever known that has done this, every woman, friends,sisters, lovers, clients has been breached, this is a protest, a hunger strike, we go to war to reclaim back the only thing our own and cause our own collateral damage in the process, we go to war with a world that doesn’t want us moving through it in the bodies we are entitled to, we go to war with the only power we have: we fade away.
[Food for thought....]
We are a war that has not been fought.
(at least, not properly)
