A hungry gaze, dissipated haze. From across the room his hunger stays.
Tears glisten yet no one listens. Madness and depression her brain descends.
Yet she has no choice...she's one of the boys. Get a doctorate, make something of yourself, stop playing with your broken toys...either way you'll be damed to hell..
She lied, they say. Made it all up, they say. He cries his reputation is ruined, I mean he never laid a hand on you anyway...Haven't you ever done something stupid when you're drunk?
Appointed to the highest hall, I guess some people are untouchable after all...
Ah...what it is to be white and male in America..
Land of the free so long as you've paid the fee,
SIT DOWN....Don't you know girls are to be seen not heard?
So, the first time she speaks her mind, the scales of justice pull her taught from behind, all too similar to the predicament she'd find herself in...all those nights ago....
This is the story of a woman who lost it all, trying to save us from the infamous Kavanaugh.
I wonder how many Bretts do you know? How many more have we yet to meet?

my mother may not be perfect
but she is brave.
my best friend may not be perfect
but she is brave.
the ones who flinch away from touch may not be perfect
but they are brave.
they are brave without being questioned
in front of millions
they are brave without having their stories torn apart
and dug up
and denied
and perhaps even believed but still pushed aside
so as not to ruin the life
of the man who ruined theirs.
they are brave without an audience.
imagine how brave she must be
to relive her trauma
in every single question and torment and threat
plastered on television screens
and dissected by men who think
their careers carry more weight
than the abuse they have all inflicted before.
dr. ford is brave
and then some.
