I have spent my entire life being mocked and scrutinized by people for the magic that I have been blessed with / for the hands the universe has dealt me with / it is not enough that I deal with the excruciating struggles that come with being black and gay / oh, she's talented too? / we must hate her / we must tear her to shreds / because her light makes me feel insecure / how dare she claim to be exceptional at anything? / how dare she / how dare she / how dare she / is black, gay, and talented? / how dare she / how dare she.
