White male, gay or other
What are my pronouns?
He, she, it, hey you
I don’t really care.
Call me what makes you comfie
I really will be okay
and I really don’t much care what country you call home.
We spend lots of time talking
Talking about stuff I don’t find important
Rather spend my time talkin
on how to be kinder
not being triggered by all sorts of shit
More time hugging
Less time worrying
about who to hug.
Being a white privileged male
from humble background
perhaps makes it harder to understand
All the fuss about being different
And being accepted
cause my chip on my shoulder
the big one, that is hard to knock off,
has always been about class and doe
And the other stuff like the shade of your skin
never seemed to matter
It was the rich with class
that hold all the cards
The rest just fighting for their place in the sun
Their place in the sun
alongside my small beam.

Nice one. I feel the same. I can’t accept that I am supposed to apologize for being something that other’s have chosen to assign to me, even although I am not what they seem to think.
We are all “us”
