The male gaze makes me hate myself
My reflection, my body all of it.
The female gaze makes me feel powerful
My body, my love all of it.
The male gaze makes me want attention
The female gaze makes me want to love
I love them both each of their own
Don't mind the eyes prying upon me
The soul leaving my body the minute
The minute it cathes someone's eyes
I fall not for love but the gesture simply
I fall so easily I fear I'll loose the ability to get up again.
And now the gaze that bored in me doesn't makes me nauseate it just makes me
FEEL.
