Activism

1

I am on my knees, under the table, I am eating your crumbs, I am grateful.
I am inspiration mixed with pity, I am a vessel of your fears of fragility
I am a leaking body, I am tremors, I am pain,
I am skin, I am hair, I am fluids requiring your care
I am everything you tell me I am and nothing more
I am grateful to be here at all

I am anger, I am rage, I am movement
I piss on your pity, I fight for my rights
this body is a protest against normality,
against containment, against expectation
I am not your inspiration porn
I will not kneel for you
