Word One
There's a word they call me
mostly behind my back
only once to my face
it's whispered whenever
I step up instead of being stepped on
when I open my mouth to verbalize
thoughts that just don't resonate
it's okay that we can't relate
no one says we have to
but I have a past too
just because my experiences
aren't your experiences
doesn't mean I didn't experience it
This word is whispered when
I'd rather have this than that
Despite your not so suggested suggestions
God forbid I decide my own shit
Word one
Your go to
because society says her too
All for one
One for all
They're the same
race, religion, success be damned
society says I'm a bitch
So you do too
Excuse me?
Did you just call me a...
wait don't answer
Sure I heard right
I'm a bitch
Because I can only play a card if it's yours, right?
