At the Bottom

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
