I am sick of being talked “roundabout “
Denigrated for being in a state of being
That I had no say in,
though it is 50.1% what I am,
and where I go.
I am not used to fighting for equal ground,
But for a real say.
I am studying child law.
But, I do just as much teaching.
Know my person,
P-e-r-s-o-n
Person.
See the structure and the acceptance
As the annoyance,
Not me.
Suddenly when people listen,
When they advocate,
I am caught off guard,
Because no one warned me
They were rising to their feet about me,
Without me.
