how they see me vs how I see me”

“How They See Me vs How I See Me” On one side I am powerful, enchanting, an enigma. Ambigous in many ways. On the other side, I am worn down, strained, and fatigued. Powerful still, yet, unstable, and ready to be done. They that make decisions for me in hate and lack of empathy, only see one side and refuse to see the other. What they see is an illness, a problematic sickness of the mind and body with no rights to the freedoms I fight to obtain and maintain. A “Yas Queen, slay” and “A confused soul destined for Hell”. They refuse to see a person who only wants to exist in freedom and equality and deserves to live their best truth without hate and attack. I am MORE than what they see and perceive. What I see is 2 in 1 and I ask for no permission to exist in my truth and take up space.
