Anonymity

Don’t want to

Be seen, heard

Or felt at this point

I am tired of the energy draining

Exhausted from the racist tropes

And patriarchy

I want better

I create my own peace and serenity

I pull back

It might appear as withdrawal

But then, you don’t understand

I feel the veil lifting, lifted

Revealing all of the mess

And I can feel it more

I feel things more

So I don’t want to

Be seen, heard

Or felt at this time

By those who would use me up

By those who don’t think

They wear people out

And have not

Done their work

It isn’t their fault

This world would have you believe

The Lie

This world would have you remain

Behind The Curtain

I don’t want to
