touch me not
when i’m on a crowded bus.
touch me not
when i’m on an empty bus.
touch me not
when i’m at work,
at school or at college,
or when i’m at my worst.
touch me not
during a break.
touch me not
when i’m asleep or awake.
touch me not.
touch me not.
touch me not.
the bushes i hide under
are no match to your keen eyes,
my green is no camouflage,
it’s like i’m walking on thin ice.
1, i’m begging for my life,
2 and you cut with your blade.
1, i’m found dead,
2 and you’re already in your shade. touch me not.
touch me not.
touch me not.
drooping sensitive leaves,
‘epithet’, ‘pudica’,.. SHAME.
strong healing roots,
but that never gave me my name. i am called
touch me not,
yet i am touched and ruined.
now i demand that you TOUCH ME NOT. pea.
