Paint Me

A poem by Florence Bruneau

Paint Me

Cover me up

Keep me hidden.

Keep me silent

Keep me low

Keep me clueless

Criticize me

Tell me what to say

Turn me against myself

Stare at me with lust

Undress me with your eyes

Use me as a puppet

Use my body

Take me as your doll

Leave me a shell

Turn me into a show

Squeeze me dry

Exhaust me of myself

Paint Me

Transform me

I am no longer me.
