 If I had never felt guilty about eating
If i had never felt ashamed of my body
If I had never been humiliated for my differences
If I had never been belittled for my cleverness
If i had never been put down for being female
If I had never been pushed away

If I had not learned from these things that I was disgusting and inadequate and worthless
If I had not tried so hard to be something and someone I am not to cover up how disgusting and inadequate and worthless I knew i was.

If I had had one person on my side to help me question their right to judge me.
if I had had the information to know how to challenge their treatment of me
if I had had the skills to understand what was happening to me

If i had had the words
If someone could have told me then
I wonder what a different creature I might be
And if I can find a way to be something of that even now.
