This is not a test
This is your life
This is not a fail or fly but rather a fight for what is right
It’s right to be given a fair chance
It’s right to have a choice
Not because you’ve worked hard
Not because you’re nice
Not because you came to the right place at the right time
Oh Jesus
This is about obedience
Standing Up
Learning how to stand my ground when decency is threatened to be bulldozed out
There is a cavern in my mouth that screams in disbelief
There is a bayonet that sits inside my ribcage
How careful I must be
How ready now to wrap myself in full humility
And yet
How willing I must be to do the deed so foreign yet to me:
To fight and fight and fight for
my own justice
