30/06: The Things People See

“Just let it go.”
I lay on a table in the middle of the room as she worked
Tentative about what to show and what to hide, then out of nowhere
“You must have strong, painful periods.”

I lay on a table in the middle of the room as she worked
Expertise exploring body parts, passing judgment
“You must have strong, painful periods.”
Sometimes it takes a stranger to make sense of things so personal

Expertise exploring body parts, passing judgment
“I know exactly what size you wear.”
Sometimes it takes a stranger to make sense of things so personal
Oh, the things people see when they really look at you

“I know exactly what size you wear.”
Most days I know I am invisible, this is not one of those days
Oh, the things people see when they really look at you
He is looking at me like he never has before

Most days I know I am invisible, this is not one of those days
Tentative about what to show and what to hide, then out of nowhere
He is looking at me like he never has before
“Just let it go.”
