I Won't Be "Dealt With" Anymore
May 29, 2018
the boys
who weren’t exactly
born that way
and the girls
who weren’t exactly
born that way
and the people
who love the same gender
or people
who have a different skin color
or who have issues that explode
inside their heads
will be the ones to rule
the f*@&ing world
because no one knows how to cure oppression
like the oppressed.
-I won’t be ‘dealt with’ any more.
