In my experience,
I have seen others speak on a topic,
failing to make it clear that they are speaking
solely from
their
own
experience.
So they say things like
Black women- this
or White men that,
Americans east,
Gays south.
The truth of the matter is
you only know your
experience
you don't know mine.
You ask why it matters
And I tell you this:
by saying '_____ Women' you called *my* name.
But you
don't
know
me
Leave my name out of your mouth.
