To discriminate
To Discriminate,
To make me feel like i'm nothing, like there's nothing going on in my head, DEAD, that cold, blistering, mid-night chill dead
Or maybe I wasn't born, or....
maybe YOU'RE dead, with nothing in
your head
To discriminate against me
Against my gender, why my gender?
Shouldn't it be, that to see differently and be different should mean nothing
since everyone is?
But to come to me and tell me, that MY different is too different because of my gender
MAKES ME LAUGH
because those who discriminate have nothing in their heads
THEY are dead
Or maybe they weren't born yet,
Or maybe they were born wrong and need to go through another Renaissance
and like Davinci,
paint a picture that is worth a thousand words
Hopefully, their picture will show them that discrimination is the Greatest abomination
WE shouldn't but we DO,
Because we are different
So I have to deal with it
And if I am the metal
I WILL NOT BREAK EASILY
