POEM| Own It

POEM| Own It

It may
make sense to you,
but not
make sense to others

It may
not be legally wrong,
but it may
be morally wrong

You may think
you aren’t hurting anyone,
but you rip off skin
with every move

It may
be what you’ve always wanted,
but a stranger
to people that know you

Birth it, Do it, Live it, Own it,
but be ready
to live with the consequences
