I had to put down things back at their place like they were never mine,
Pretend that i wasn't shattering while doing it,
All that, all that because i thought I didn't deserved it or
what i feel, what i think, they mattered less,
I thought you have to be worth something,
Worth something to own,
to refuse, to ask, to have a voice, to say I'm being wronged,
Worths decided by them,
A particular kind of skin color,
Particular shape of the face,
Particular curves of the body,
And anything beside that was worth nothing,
As i thought,
As they taught.
