You can’t keep a good woman down
Dismissive voices only discredit
the ones who’re judging
Growing the voice louder
into a primal scream
You cannot deny somebody’s reality
past nor present
Nor the words they choose
to express themselves
Nor judge how they will be interpreted and received
Just let them speak
Try to listen and to understand
We can see each other eye-to-eye
Without needing to interject
and to change everything.

Thoughts from my own experiences and from being a friend to others.

I was told once and once enough, there is a saying like ‘we were given two ears and one mouth, use them in that proportion’.
I agree 100%.

Ha I know. I can be a pretty feisty campaigner, but I’m a lot like the Cowardly Lion, I come out swinging but am put down pretty darn quickly.
