Write that i



Write that I resiste
Write that I was beaten
Write that I learned
Write that I was tortured

Write that I could learn
Write that I can write
Write that I can read
Write that I can do math

Write that I was beaten
Write that I was killed
Write that I killed
Write that I lost

Write that I was a mother
Write that I was a father
Write that I was a son
Write that I was a daughter

Write about how I was mistreated
But
Don’t write that
The white is in the right
