Unaware, I walk on gravel unnoticed until my eyes go down.
Hundreds, maybe thousands crushed under my foot. Don't tell me it doesn't hurt them because they are rocks.
I am a rock constantly being crushed. If not by a foot then by the forces of man
Crushed because of the color of my skin. Crushed because of my ***. Crushed because of my sexuality.
In this scenario, my foot is the oppressor pushing the rocks further into the ground How much weight do I have to put on the rocks to make them disappear further?
Understand, I am that rock and that foot is the world around me. But I will not be pressed and put into the ground.
My rock will stick to the sole of the shoe and with every rock-felt step it makes the shoe will know I am there to stay. The more it steps the deeper I will embed myself
