Growing Pains

Do you remember being young
and being able to feel the pain of growth
and the piercing of your shins
and the cramps in your calves?

As I quickly approach 23,
Less do I feel the pain
but more do I feel the panic,
because I can never see or feel enough in any place.

Two Sets of Lips

I have two sets of lips
but sometimes it feels as if the set
between my legs speaks louder
Even though the one
below my nose
is the set that speaks.

My p*ssy lips are taken more seriously
even though you all consider them dirty
But when I say the word "pussy"
then my mouth is dirtier.

Yes - both sets allow me to feel,
but unfortunately only one can fight back
And it's not the one that should - arguably
But arguing is the exact problem, isn't it?

Look at my face and listen to me only
then go between my legs
Because the set of lips that allows me to taste
can only taste empowerment if it comes first.
