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
