Hate Mail to Society
Dear Society,
I want to first point out that I’m not enjoying my stay,
I want to be myself but you’re saying, “No, not in that way!”
I want to love my body but you’re tearing me down,
I want to be able to smile but you bully me, and wonder why I frown.
I don’t want to be worthless despite your beliefs, so I’m not making a sound,
I want you to be crying as I’m being buried in the ground.
I want to fall involve with someone that I want, not someone that you choose,
I want to have my opinions without you harassing my views.
I don’t want to be scared and I do not want to be deceived,
I want to not be here, but there’s no way for me to leave.
I want to break your norms, I want to set me free,
because I feel lovely the way I was created to be.
You were never crushed, you were never broken,
This is how you’ve always spoken.
So stop with the harassment, stop with the labels,
and keep a close eye on me as I try to turn the tables.
Your words are unkind, your words are hurtful,
So be careful society. My vendetta is not merciful.
