GenZine Issue 2: Power

GenZine

LEGS I thought I was powerless, once upon a time. I opened my eyes and saw their dominance. I opened my arms and they chained me to the wall. I opened my chest and gave them my heart in submission. I opened my mouth but my words were frail, and gutless. I opened my mind and they fed me lies of their strength and vigour. I laid myself bare at their feet and they told me I was powerless so that I would stay there. But I’ve discovered the one thing they never wanted me to. When I open my legs, nothing but power seeps out. by Tara Mallia (she/her)
