As grateful as I am

To yesterday’s feminists

I want to be sure

Not to follow in their footsteps

Collaboration was expected

And then we forgot

Or

Didn’t mention

Them……

The black Women who helped build this thing up.

Yet they still sign up

Over and over again

Trying to save

This is something that has been on my mind for a very long time

And I am ashamed that I haven’t Said it

I didn’t know how to,

I still don’t

But silence is not a referendum

And honestly, it has never refrained me from opening my mouth

So maybe I nurtured my own

Preserve

Over hers.

Maybe I

Prioritized

My own discomfort with this

Back/stabbing /lie/claimed sacrifice

Over the decency of truth
