People say I'm privileged. Privileged "what"? Privileged that I escaped my sisters' fate? (limitless confinement, endless drudgery)? Privileged that I dare to dream? (seek refuge in broken rules)? I'm painfully aware even literacy is a privilege. So, I compose alien words (pretend, defend, survive).

My fate is perhaps sealed in the lines of my palm but I refuse to believe. (deny, defy, survive). I will trip and falter over the alien words you refuse to read, but I will make you understand (I will wait until) In abandoned history, in posterity (you will acquiesce) and together we shall rise empowered in our morrow.
