"I am not wrong: Wrong is not my name My name is my own my own my own and I can’t tell you who the hell set things up like this but I can tell you that from now on my resistance my simple and daily and nightly self-determination may very well cost you your life"

Powerful and empowering! It's been a while since I've heard such a strong female voice that will not be silenced but call out with such eloquence and verve an unremitting declaration of unapologetic strength and self-victory.

Righting the wrong by telling your truth and how they stretch and stretch and stretch and then bam, like mercury, they reform into your face, your name, your voice. Beautiful. Right on! Powerful. This poem is not consent. My resistance may cost you your life! Bam!
