You cannibalize everything on Earth I value
so I cannibalize everything in myself you value.
You devour trees, swallow rivers
I abolish gender, rescind sexuality.
You consume precious resources
I deny you obedience.
You make the world
unsafe//unwelcome//unkind
so I make myself
unavailable//undesirable//unforgiving.
If you leave me nothing
I will give you nothing.
See? I can be a ravenous beast as well
but I won’t be the one that starves first.

The power in this. Incredible. ❤️
Thank you! It was originally prose and I wasn’t sure it worked as a poem, so I’m glad I didn’t weaken it by messing with the structure.
This was wonderful! Definitely powerful.
Aah, thank you so much!!
