Contradictable Equality


Don't look at me and say that you feel the same as me.

You are not my equal, you will never be as equal as me.

I fought for a voice that will never be heard.

You watched silently and took all the credit.

I repose with evil just to toughen my fragile skin.

You slumbered along side of me, ignoring my cry but vocalized your own.

I was punished for being the same, killed for being different.

You turned your nose while the crime against me happened.

Still you kneel on the side of me and express all this as if you have done this alone.

Don't look at me and say that you feel the same as me.

You are not my equal, you will never be as equal as me.

Passive-Aggressive-Monster

I love poetry and writing. Been writing since I was at least three when I was taught how to put together a simple sentence. I also love music too. Personally I don't think those two things won't expire in me anytime soon, or at all even!
