When We Stop Centering Cis Men

Maybe we are more ferocious

We decided to be what we want

We will make the world great

Not by taking it over

But by letting it carry us

Maybe we will wear flower crowns

And giggle

Maybe we won’t wear keys

Between our fists at night

Maybe we won’t dim ourselves

To disappear

Or play pretend

To be heard

Maybe we will write

Whatever fucking poem we need

Because it’s our world too

Don’t you dare let a cis man tell you

Something different
