#Chains
Chains that
Say my name
Bound in,
Unending
Endless shame.
Walls within
Without
Lay claim
“Bad things”
You did
Your badge of fame.
The ‘other’ half
Lesser, less
All men proclaim
Lesser still,
These breeds
Skin, too pale
Too thin,
Too dark a stain.
Constant
The blame
Why must,
Why
Do you
Complain?
Take this
A crumb,
Morsel, grain
Why not,
Can not
This
Be sufficient
Gain?
Chains
Unending
Entwined
Unbroken,
Climb.
Each day
Incessant
Each age
Relentless
Unwinding
This ascent
Spiral
Incessant chime.
Chains
Female
Mother
Slut
Sister
She asked for it
Shame
Who
then
will
you
blame?
If you
have never felt any of that, you’re fortunate. Blessed even.
For the
rest of us, it is just another day.
One more
day.
In the
life of.
