Invisible
They lean across my desk
They stand beside me
They ask someone else 
 
They ignore my request
They take it off the agenda
They try to convince me
They say it’s my problem 
 
They arrive after me
They stand in front
They cue behind me
They get served first 
 
They turn their backs
They want to shake hands
They gave children guns
They stole my lands 
 
They wounded my heart
They tortured my body
They blinded my heritage
They made the trail bloody 
 
They show their tears
They want compassion
They carve their smiles
They follow fashion 
 
They misinterpret my words
They don’t want my opinion
They wear their guilt
They can’t see I am broken 
 
They fail to hear me
They want me silenced
They shrink away
They call my power violence 
 
They invite challenge
They leave me on the frontline
They include me when
They want a token 
 
They say show me how
They have their problems
They want it written
They don’t want it spoken 
 
They come for my soul
They have already taken
They want me the same
They make me different 
 
They want to be conscious
They want to do it right
They want me visible
They want me out of sight
