You Need these Painful Truths
You Need these Painful Truths
Nothing bites like a woman's tongue
That's
what they say when they shush me
But maybe what my words cut and bleed
Reminds
you that you are as human as I am
So don't Shush me.
We have to Fix What Broke
While we hold our voices back
You make decisions for the whole
world
A world full of Women, Girls, Men, and Boys
Could this be why
our world is bereft of balance
So don't Shush me now.
It STILL hurts!
We've made great strides they insist
It could be better but it's not
terrible
But can't they see the changes they celebrate
Are mere
glimpes of the sky from a barred cell window.
So don't Shush me.
This is My Spot
YOU don't feel what I feel
It's not your heart breaking at the
injustice
So how can you possibly understand
Me roaring out in pain
So, don't Shush me.
