Tribute to my red coat

One step
I’m walking down the street
I take a deep breath
I’m enjoying because
I see you
looking at me

I see every eye in every direction
reminding me of my location
I know exactly where I am
I can’t see you but I know you see me

I can feel your eyes in my back
They provoke my movements
They continue to move me
I will not not stop
I want to be that glimpse forever.

In silence

I’m shouting to the world
Look at me!
Look at me as you always wanted to
Because today I’m here for being looked at
No shame
Today I give you the permission to look
At me
you can look at me
Take a deep look
remember every part of me.

I feel all of the heaviness of my body in this world
As if I am the only one existing
I’m becoming the center
You become the margin
This time
I own my body
I am becoming my body
I own your eyes
all of them
I know all of them, I studied all of them
I observed them
I’m controlling them
I took them without asking
I made them mine
I earned them

Distant

As if I’m becoming a colour
You can’t touch me
You can’t stop me
I don’t have a voice nor a name
Im passing by like a memory

I’m not even real
so what are you looking at?
