privilege

[miak]

to you,
it is a hypothetical
debate
an intellectual exercise
to examine
the soundness
of an argument
to philosophize

to you
i am not objective
to you
i don't speak reason
the lingo
of objectivity

i do not have
the privilege
of talking objectively
when i am
the subject
i do not have
the privilege
when you keep insisting
on pressing the buttons
that
trigger
all my trauma
all over again.
i do not have the privilege
when i deal with
the pain of those who have been hurt
those who took their lives
those who are thinking of taking
their lives

i do not have the privilege
to accept an apology
that was never given.
