More

I’m more than a date

I’m more than a fuck

More than potential

More than a quick buck 

I don’t cease existing

When you don’t need me 

I have my own wants

I have my own needs

I am not your plaything 

Don’t toss me away

When it’s clear that “no”

Is a word that I say

If you can’t come to me

With friendship, with care

With more than just requests

Then do not you dare

Don’t you come at me

With “pleases” and “why”s

If that’s all you have for me

Don’t waste my time

But if you can see past 

My body, my face

To the soul inside me

Then come, take your place

‘Cause friends I will welcome

With arms open wide

And I think you’ll like 

Having me by your side

So next time you’re thinking

“She’d look nice in bed”

I hope you’ll think back

To the words that I’ve said:

We are all PEOPLE;

Not here just to please

And if you think we are,

YOU’RE part of the disease
