Unmentionable

I am angry
I am sad
But I am not
To blame
As you aim
To humiliate
Us.

We say nothing
(Even as we say
Something)
Because you
Threaten us
Betting
That you can
Keep
Us down.

But
Years later,
We're free.

We
Can take
Deep breaths
And exist
And be
Without
Shame.

Me with you
And you
With me.
