Free Pass

I am gaslit
Now and then
Fictional moms
(Both real and pretend.)

I see them
Escaping
Any
Responsibility

Any
Accountability
Because
They are mothers.

Because
We don't matter.
Because of
A thousand reasons.

Time and
Time and
Time again

Nondisabled people
Feeling good
Matters more
Than our personhood.

More
Than our safety
So hasty
To dismiss us.

Invisible--
Who sees us?
