 I felt the cold burn of social inequality in my chest
when he asked us for some past examples
of deviance from social norms.
I wanted to say, “Two men living together.
Two women in love. Being open and willing
to accept your sexual preferences. And not allowing
mainstream religion and fear to control your life.”
But instead I sat there, with the cold burn of social inequality
breathing and living in my chest, commanding my
heart to slowly beat, and demanding me not to say a word.
Telling me that I’d get looked at weirdly, or smirked at
in sarcastic and annoyed ways by my peers,
people who are tired or uninterested in the rights
of all people as individuals. I wonder, was it shame too, that kept me
from speaking? Or was it simply the cold burn of social inequality
that has been embedded in my chest for my whole life,
strong-arming me, and keeping me powerless for one more
cowardly and appalling day? I feel the sweat of humid disgrace
lingering inside of me still, making me feel sick, because I realize
that I’m stuck in a world full of nothing but the cold burn of social inequality
and although I am on the outskirts, I am too scared
to step completely outside of its shadow.

Hello Everyday... by what i have read of your writings i think you are more bold, and proud in your existance... than this one moment in which I think your judging yourself too harshly, and placing too much onus on this one question, in a room of people that you clearly don't know well and maybe care not to know well. '

I don't think it shame, my friend i think you've placed too muich pressure on yourself AND - nor should you doubt your pride, because = i have read how loudly you proclaim your being, your world, your love, your sex, ultimetly your pure nature to the world... Thanks, and with Love Simply. Exclamation

you are correct, i was overanalyzing on that day, especially when i got home and started really thinking about it. but, that said, i think it's still important for me to write about something like this because it does happen, and it happens often, especially in schools or in public areas. i noted it because it is a real effect of sociology and very interesting to note while in a sociology class. I was hoping that in writing this piece, i could let out the anger or confusion i have experienced on days like this and on the stories that people have told me about days like this. the poem is basically a mush pot of all of my feelings that revolve around things that have happened exactly like that day. thank you though! because i appreciate that you feel more strongly about my pride in who i am than i did at the time of writing this poem. i know that you are right. thank you for reading my poetry and being supportive. ~EDA

Hello Everyday... ....it's always important to write.......Always...

it's that release that we all need. and i agree with you i think this probably does happen more often than it should, and usually every where it shouldn't like a school/university class.. where i always thought the point of such a learning environment was to expand on one's own experiences, perceptions of knowledge and truth, i always thought the point was to take in all this "new" information - new philosophies and openly evolve beyond of what we all programed to think by our own "world", life, society, of which we are a product.

however - isn't it interesting that we (and i include myself) tend to dwell on those little moments of doubt and "shame"? [usually imposed and projected by others] when we know it's fleeting in the end....why do we mistrust and never credit ourselves with what we know to be Positively true to our personality, our everyday life, our love, our core ? from the little battles to the large pains we overcome, the love that is given to us, the love we give others never seems to compare to the self-doubt, the Uncertainty of our own being..

now that i've rambled on a little bit (apologies) you are truly welcome, and i know many others support you too... I hope you see the Amazon within that i have read of you.. Wink with thanks, Simply
