Bad Bitch 

By Sammy Ginsberg

Bad bitch, that’s a switch.
Honestly, I used to be mute
took my cue and closed my mind,
decided not to find what was really inside of me.
just being what they see
but always a fire inside of me.

My skin is burning,
I’m coming out – truly me,
not who society wants me to be. 
I’m starting to tell the world who I am,
instead of the other way.
No longer obeying the way of the world,
but making her way in the world.
And if that makes me a bad bitch,
then fuck it. I’m a bad bitch.

Performed in March, 2014
