Battling ignorance Is putting a knife to my throat One mistaken word I hold the danger to be assaulted As a result the blade slits me open
Battling ignorance Can be withdrawing the knife When people digest That I am a human And they respect me
I get asked inappropriate questions as a trans person. People forget to be respectful when you come out. Other times people intend to make you feel uncomfortable. And lastly, some result to violence as a way of disapproval. I try to battle ignorance with peace every time I can. Yet Iām still challenged with the opposite energy.
