Recently I’ve been homesick

In a different way than usual

I used to get sick for home

But now I’m sick of home

And the hate that festers there

Deemed acceptable when dressed up

As an act permitted by your god

And I’m sick of your preaching

From your fortress of privilege

Cisgender privilege

Hetero privilege

Christian privilege

Each one a brick pushing you higher

Building you a dais

From which you can judge

And say it’s not a big deal

And say I should calm down

And say my anger is invalid

If I ever questioned my identity

Or my place in this community

My anger and fear has shown me

That I’m exactly where I belong

And I will not stop thinking or feeling

Just because it makes you uncomfortable

Instead I will celebrate your discomfort

Until the day you learn from it
