Our brotherhood and sisterhood

Is tainted with our misconceptions

With my perceptual defiance of that loud tone

Meant to instill fear in woman and demean

That deafens me and ignites my soul

I tell you

Do not disrespect woman

Forgetting that

It is not you who led you to this toxicity

It is this borrowed malicious mentality

Erroneous conception of masculinity

Stuck

Between

Sympathy and

Remembering,

I have to be strong hearted and

Hold you accountable

For my women

XO,

Laveet
