The Way Overhead

Adam Szymkowicz
Everything is not about the two of you, and your bets and side bets, your tantrums, your
proposals, your lust and your desires. I can have desires and you don’t have to enter into
them in any way. I can have sex dreams and sex day dreams and they can be about someone
else. I’m tired of being tied down or covered up. I am not a statue on a pedestal or a flower in
a vase. I am not just a beautiful thing, although I am that for sure. But I want to be recognized
for who I am, not only how I look. I don’t want to always be protected from the world by other
people. You don’t have to build a ceiling over me. I don’t need it. I don’t know. Treat me like a
normal person, not the freak in the room who happens to be incredibly incredibly beautiful.
