Know This
Reckoning
Stop, just stop
lying, misogyny, disrespect, gaslight & redirect
intentional brainwash in persistent pattern
don’t hate me because I see you
see me because I know
what you have stolen
pay attention, I cannot be unseen
I am every woman, girl, female, human
know this, because I say with action
I am a natural danger, a seismic sea wave
