This is for everyone

Who has criticized

The body of a child:

You have taken everything from me.

Today 

An eleven-year-old girl

Is sitting in a hospital bed

the permanent marker squeaks across the page black sharpie mimic the scream rage & awareness & hands off hands off hands OFF MY BODY you call this democracy?

Let me go back to the mountains 
Back to the trees 
Back to the forest who once mothered me
