I’m trying really hard to convince myself that I can write my way through all the bullshit.
sometimes I write things
I want to be heard, and not seen Judged on my words and not my skin Tone And I don’t mean That I want to get to know you through the telephone I want you to feel me As my breath fires at your face With conviction I want you to listen Without only picking Up the frequency that fits With my dreadlocks And my mismatched, crusty bed socks Because I have something to say That you can’t see...

Maybe even a bunch of verbs now that I think about it. Maybe I will write them in abrupt and disjointed sentences. I’m a reproductive-freedom-fighter. I am, before anything else, an activist. And an artist. And a social worker. I want...
