Compositions

Overcoming Segregation

I had a frightening but illuminating dream awhile ago where a black demon man aproached me when I had my car door open and bent down to eat my knee.

“Hey!” I cried out, startled – “Please don’t do that!”

It was all I could think to say.

He let go of my knee, hungrily salivating, and sat back on his haunches, recomposing himself.

He told me earnestly that all he wanted was to be a cook on a cruise ship, and did I think this was possible, as he’d been dissuaded from doing so.

I told him I saw nothing wrong with it, but that it would be a long haul in his overcoming bias and fear against his identity.

He seemed satisfied with this answer and left me in peace – both of us relieved.

(Have I shared this story already?)

You’ll ask how, but this brings me to the concept of gender identity and how much monocultured religious and/or other societies attempt to judge and ban against diversity.

The point is, we are all looking to express our truest selves, and we want to be acknowledged for this and allowed our rights and space to prosper.

As long as no one is causing harm, let it be.
