Rupi I hear you

Rupi I hear you
Calling out into the dark
Creating cataclysmic candor
Riding my strength for
lack of restraint

I am ready to join this
sisterhood I used to cower from

Though I am white, privileged
and middle class
We are preponderantly akin

It happened to you
#metoo
Representational, still sincere
Speak out, alone we are not

Fear cannot abide
Our congregation is uncountable
As stars in the expanse
We are #heretoo
