I don’t use toilet protectors when I pee

I know

I know

TMI

Just wait

Hold your judgements and give the metaphor a chance

I don’t use toilet protectors when I pee

I don’t baby proof my world

Let fear dictate my actions

I don’t put my name in the open mike nights because I have seen the stand up comedian monologs that win these slams and know my cliché shit is going down

I don’t stop myself from having sex with someone new because a boyfriend raped me once

I don’t hold people to the standards others have created for me in the past

I don’t shut down

I am open

Vulnerable

Myself at all times

Regardless of costs

I don’t filter anything

Use toilet protectors when I pee

I just don’t

I simply do
