do you know me?
really know me?
you have opinions
about my opinions
about my music
about my clothes
about my body
some people hate what I wear
some people praise it
some people use it to shame others
some people use it to shame me
but I feel you watching
always
and nothing I do goes unseen
so while I feel your stares
your disapproval
or your sigh of relief
if I lived by them
I’d never be able to move
would you like me to be smaller?
weaker?
softer?
taller?
would you like me to be quiet?
do my shoulders provoke you?
does my chest?
am I my stomach?
my hips?
the body I was born with
is it not what you wanted?
if I wear what is comfortable
I am not a woman
if I shed the layers
I’m a slut
though you’ve never seen my body
you still judge it
and judge me for it
why?
we make assumptions about people
based on their size
we decide who they are
we decide what they’re worth
if I wear more
if I wear less
who decides what that makes me?
what that means?
is my value based only on your perception?
or is your opinion of me
not my responsibility

“If I wear more of I wear less who decides what that makes me”I love her
-
"the body I was born with, is it not what you wanted? " holy-
-
“If I am comfortable, I am not a woman” that hit hard
-
Can't even tell when was the last time a so well-known artist bared their soul in such an in-your-face way. That whole album dealt with the aftermath of sudden rise to fame, definitely it wasn't easy for a child. Mad props, Billie, for this song and your attitude.
-
Finally I can hear the message in peace without annoying fans screaming for her body
-
“ though you never see my body , u still judge it “ this hits.
-
I keep coming back to this..Im so addicted 😭✋️ (Jun 2024)
-
this poem is so beautiful. being who she is and how much of a platform she has, it’s amazing she spreads awareness like this
-
The screaming and remarks about Billie's body from concert recordings hindered the message she tried to convey. It really does make a difference to be given the opportunity to become immersed in the short film and allow the message to hit hard
-
“The body I was born with, is it not what YOU wanted”

who's here in 2024

this really hit me deep, it made me realize that humanity is draining. mentally draining.. and billie is a powerful woman. she shares her story and she makes a relatable song, i assume its inspired by her own experiences. and feelings. i listened to this many times, it gives me a chill. its beautiful. its unique.

“don’t make assumptions about people based on their size” amén.
-
though you've never seen my body, you still judge it Billie spoke.
-
she’s literally so perfect
-
I find her music okay. But that is not only a strong, true and important message she delivered here, but also done in a quite intelligent manner
-
“the body i was born with, is it not what you wanted?” THAT hits different
-
"Your opinion of me is not my responsibility", I feel like she is speaking for everyone who feel the same.
-
Billie Eilish you’re beautiful
-
"My value is based only on your perception?" I love the message that billie always wants to leave, how we are always judged by our body, by our decisions or opinions, by how we dress or how we act, billie really is a great person who helps others to stop thinking what others are going to comment on you and start doing what you really like, I love it and it will always be my favorite 💘
