The Pain

It’s been on display for awhile now.
For a long time, now.
Hashtag Me too?
All the people-
the women and men
that have suffered ****** abuse from the others -
that marginalized and belittled
our very existence and now.
Now it’s not just gender and ***.
It is colour.
People are
dying
because of racism and presuppositions and hate.
Lots of hate.
Mistrust
and misunderstanding and...
If you just took a minute, to talk to me like I was just like you, well. It would all be ok.
Wouldn’t it?
I believe
that it would all be ok.

I am Delicate
...
but always spoiling for a fight.
I am
a simple girl.
But don’t let my kindness
fool you.
I’ll tear you limb-from-limb
if you try to hurt
one of my own.
Yes.
I’m a simple girl-
but not one you should try. No.
Don’t try me.
You won’t fare well.
