February 28,2020- Needing it out

We are living through a Bi-Partisan Civil War
that no one wants to recognize
We have trained ourselves to ignore
in order to survive
I can no longer identify as a white lesbian female
in a world that the #METOO movement happened
and we allow the leader to grab our pussies
and this is just how it is
I can not express myself without being told I am wrong
I can not speak my truth
So many people are under-appreciated
I can not say I like your music because of my skin color that was given to me
not that I have earned
I can not share my experiences with a male
because of a label of gay is an absolute as a lesbian
So many artists are begging you to listen to their words
and I’m no different
We are all begging
Begging for our feelings to be heard
Our society has driven us into silence
Noone I mean noone is thankful
Forget RESPECT
WE accept ourselves
WE accept our own thoughts
WE accept our own feelings
But the rest of you are ignorant fools
Continuing to show us you’re on top of the world
And the rest of us sitting at the bottom
Watching your life be easy
That’s alright
I know who I am
and I will still love you
One avenue for being heard that you haven’t considered is to use Esperanto.
