Inner Self

I am the king of all things wrong. In turn i am your queen of damnation. I am the flaw in your hierarchy, the glitch in the system. Spare me the distasteful glares. Sit upon your throne of filth. Highly seated in your royal thrones, you whisper and pass judgment because Iam all that  you fear.

Thank you for sharing this. A powerful indictment of those who lean on privilege while offering empowerment and reclamation to those who reject it and its role assignments.
