do not suppress my words, written or spoken,
english or foreign.

do not tell me how to feel or how to heal.

do not assume you know me, my story, what i go through
just because we're close,

or judgement of my "attractive" face.

i am more complex than you think you know.
you underestimate my power, my process.

do not undercut me of my success.

one day, i'll be standing over you,
and you'll see just how intimidating
i can be.
