I am a combination of my family. I am a war fought within myself. We cannot have a holiday without a fight, And religion, politics and football a screaming in my veins. I am a women from a collapsing matriarchy, Who sways her opinion in age, But could **** you with one look. I don’t give a **** if I inconvenience you Because I am fighting for my freedom with An expensive taste in scotch. I am young, I am youth, and I am confused Surrounded by people who have their **** together. I am holding back tears When I am told I should stop dreaming, because this is my reality. I am full as I continue to eat, Because everything is a competition in my family And they didn’t let me play dodge ball with the boys. I am a stone cold fox who gets torn down By those I’ve known my whole life. They strip away my confidence As I hide in the corner.
