Pronouns
 |
I read an article
and scrolled further up,
overlooking, denying its importance.
Till it came back again
and again,
dressed in various costumes every time -
dancing, mocking, ridiculing me;
sneering at my privilege. It once
spat on the ground when I
insisted on tradition
and casually chuckled at an enemy piece.
Clearly I couldn't overlook anymore -
it had made allies in time.
So I began by observing in silence
studying, understanding -
she/her, they/them, he/him
"You cannot ignore me anymore - I do not need your supportI will rise in time
I am rising now -
To paint rainbows in the sky
and on the ground."
