the daily battles
etch a sheen on my armor
as rights are ignored
the feminine they try to oppress
but nothing will hurl us back in time
our sharp tongues wound and silence our oppressors
like a moth to a flame, we’ll seduce them
the fabric of society will not fray
when women are truly free
no more having to put our lives on the line
each of us seeks autonomy
history in the making is streaming
the evolved attitude of those beyond the norm
say NO MORE to “keep it heteronormative“
what they’ve heard “feels more right,” is wrong
what they know
it’s bullshit, on its face
a huge split from conformity
talking about it, living their truth
adds kerosene to a fire
started by non-conformists
but it deserves support

Mother Mary’s shamed
these days painted rainbow bright
love is love proclaimed
