Write something serious
Like how children of immigrants are educated now in a way where they can express the pain of their mothers and grandmothers.
Maybe you can write how we have been dying for centuries but now children of colour are not silenced by the man
Or you could write about how “the man” is a construct to reaffirm oppression
Perhaps you could write about how we listened to our fathers telling us the formula of getting an education, working twice as hard and still being a step behind
But how will it end?
How are women supposed to relate to you
You are a 19 year old child
But it’s the pain, the journey the healing
I may not be able to put it in perfectly coherent syntax but we know our oain can’t be perfectly coherent Sir.
