Privilege
Privilege is realizing that
You have no gag reflex over a porcelain bowl
So privilege becomes cubed ice for dinner
And a bag of Cheetos for lunch
So privilege becomes fast food birthday presents
Because no one can ever tell
So privilege becomes friends telling you
That you’re not conventionally attractive
So privilege becomes it’ll happen eventually
So privilege becomes guys would like me more if I had a tan like you
So privilege becomes I think we should
Just be friends before you’ve asked the question.
So privilege becomes ugly, fat, unwanted, not needed
So privilege becomes unseen depression
So privilege becomes what would you know about scars
So privilege becomes second choice becoming last
So privilege being born a cactus surrounded by beautiful redwoods telling you to be grateful you are not cut down
