My non-binary body

My body is my own. My non-binary body is my own. It's not for your consumption, it's not for your touch, it's not for you to question. I am my body, I am my chronically ill body, I am my broken body. Doctors see my body, touch my body. Men see my body, touch my body. Always touched. My non-binary body needs no explanation, no education, I am just a body. One body in millions. My non-binary body is neither male or female, I am just a body. My body is all I have. My body bleeds, cries, aches, throbs and creates. There's nothing special about my body other than the fact that it is mine and mine alone.
