I hear them hate
I hear them say
“you’re better off dead”
And some day I believe them
My skin is too dark it’s scary
My body too fat its overwhelming
My voice too loud
My accent too thick
Some days I am the favorite
Yes, they all want a piece of me
So, they take it
My breasts are groped
My vagina invaded
When I yell, “help”
My plea goes evaded
Is this the price of not being hated?
