I Woman, I Tori
My worthiness is not defined by your callousness.

I am woman
Hear me shout
Hear me
Explain why I'm human
Should be cared about
I explain my existence
As biracial
As bisexual
As worthy as I can
But speech is heavy-lidded with doubts that all will hear
And hearing is heavy dreaded with doubts all that I hear
I'm not pansexual
I'm not a sellout
I'm not new either
And I'm not your token
I'm me
And that's all that matters
My life depends upon how I look, the insurance I have, the way I act or what I say
And it shouldn't.
I am Tori
I will persist
I will resist
I will insist I am worthy
Hear me
Roar
I Woman, I Tori
My take on my existence and having to prove my worthiness to exist in a world where both extremes don't want me to.
