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
