Being Co-Equal Poem by RIC BASTASA

Being Co-Equal



being co-equal
you are in no position to tell me
who i am
and what i am supposed to do
what i must speak
and what i must think

do not shame me with your
interference
you think that i have not done enough
and have not lived
to the shape and mold of your expectations

i am silent as paper
give me the pen
and i will tell you

i make the difference
and you shamed me too
for you speak in the tongue of
so much noise
i scream in the silence of
my written words.
