know your place
aggressive woman
hush with that reckoning
seeing behind the curtain
shadowed truth arises
disrupting the fairy tale
so the babies
will not know this pain
those most comfortable
constrain freedom
overtly or insidiously
administering death by papercuts
liberation is unfamiliar
stretching muscles beyond recognition
the whisper in my ear
fuck their comfort
i get to exist
in my truth and integrity
with the kindness of generations
radiating from my heart
recognizing the spirit
unrelenting fuel
the effort spans before and after
until everyone is free
