The Temple

So, I’m a passionate person

But my body’s still a temple

Don’t try to test your limits

I am not experimental

 

Work your way down

I’ll tell you where to start

Begin with my brain

Then to my heart

 

Don’t assume from my past

That I’m easy to please

I will not quickly

Get down on my knees

 

For those who assumed

Well they took it too far

And they’ve left me afraid

And, boy, they’ve left scars

 

And I might like those books

And I might like those movies

But don’t call me a s**t

Don’t YOU DARE tag that to me

 

My consent is still crucial

My no, still means no

Know I’ve been hurt…

So let’s take it slow…

 

Not just broken in heart

But broken in soul

Broken in body

And I may never be whole

 

And I’m not assuming

That you’ll step out of bound

I’m just letting you know

That you tread shaking ground
