Mind
Is it My Initial Neglected Domain
or am I condemned to haul its weight like a beast of burden?
Do I really look like that, or is dysmorphia the mirror that lies louder than truth?
Black: Behold Limitless Anger and Cold Knife blades
Do I matter — or only when we’re at Dave & Busters?
Am I too dark for safety or too light for belonging? Will always be seen as armed and dangerous when your skins a weapon

Disabled: Doubtfully Invisible Says All But Longing for Equal Deservance
No chair beneath me, but pain still builds its throne.
If they don’t see it, will they call me a fraud instead of human?
LGBTQIA+: Living Guilty Becuz They Quiet Individual Advocacy
I’m not confused — or am I?
My existence is not a debate;
I am a real (Wo)Man, whether they choke on the words or not.

Fat: Fitting All Tropes
Every step, a verdict.
Every glance, a sentence.
They call it “the easy way out” While I carry a lifetime of shame like armor I never asked for.
Jailed: Jacked And Incarcerated Living in Empty Darkness
Does dignity only belong to the unarrested?
Can I get common decency without starving for it?
Is a calendar cautious— or just another thing denied?

Protested: Posting Radical Only Tweets for Everyone to See The Everlasting Death
The heat took everything, but their cameras took more Do you smell that? That’s a life unraveling while they chase the perfect angle. Did the flames illuminate enough for your feed? Was someone’s final moment bright enough for you?

Unruly Bodies 
This entire reading has given me goosebumps all over my body. Your voice is truly provocative in a wonderful way, and your word choice is intelligent. Always being perceived as armed and dangerous when your skin is a weapon, and the inability to fit in or be “just right” about something so visible and unchangeable is very moving. Emphasizing invisible disabilities with a lack of a wheelchair yet still utilizing imagery of a “throne of pain” is beautiful. Using armor to draw a connection to fat bodies perfectly allows visualization of both a physical and mental burden. “Was someone’s final moment bright enough for you?” reads as a wake-up call especially in the digital age where we are so desensitized to distressing and gory media.
WOOOOOOOOOO. I wish I had reaction gifs on here! I would use the one from Sinners with Stack in the car. This is heatttt.
