"beautiful"

tho' not said outright
and side-stepped
it is wrong of you.
Insinuating that I am not
with your flippancy.
You are cruel
and you are incorrect.
You are incorrect.
i am a woman, and
Can you know my beauty?
How could you know?
does it suffice,
you have harmed my heart
and overlooked my skin
and quite forgotten my actions,
with blind eyes
you have judged me
so surely you know what you say.
