Bitch

You’re so sensitive

“I just wanted to enjoy an album from an artist I really liked

And I asked you if you wanted to keep listening”

Bitches

My fragile disposition

Ruining this

It’s crumbling in my hand

I agreed

I want to figure out what’s making me uncomfortable

Making me so sensitive

Bitches

Do you

Ever think of me like this, is this anger

Salient for you

Do you say these things

When speaking to your friends

Is this what I am to you

“He just does this to cause a reaction”

Taunts from my step dad and I’m told to just ignore it

These things he’s doing–it’s just for a reaction

So stop reacting

You’re so sensitive

And this man is rapping bitches bitches bitches

And you really love the artist

And you asked me if it was okay

It’s okay if he’s misogynistic because he’s black

I’m catcalled at night, I don’t see his face but

I’m scared for my life

You’re so sensitive

“I don’t want to be made out to be incompatible

Over a difference of opinion”

he tells me

Bitches bitches bitches
