Unapologetically Opinionated
Behind polite smiles and nods,
There is a storm of thoughts
Ready to be released.
I'm in a constant battle between
Keeping the peace for the sanity of both of us
And calling out your bullshit.
When there is no filter,
I am unapologetically opinionated.
I will tell you why you are
Rape jokes aren't funny.
Or why the n-word is cruel and racist.
I will tell you why you are wrong.
When there is no filter,
I will defend my passion for justice
No matter what the cost.
Call me uptight.
Call me liberal.
Call me a feminazi.
Because when there is no filter,
I will call you
A bigot.
A racist.
A misogynist.
When there is no filter,
I will no longer keep the peace.
When there is no filter,
I will break the silence.
When there is no filter,
I will fight.
