Me too: A Lament
CLICK HERE to Download audio of Jessica reciting "Me Too: A Lament"
Something happened.
Something happened.
Something happened to me, too.
I felt it in the collective voice of women raging.
Why are we so afraid of women raging?
If the sea can rage then so can we.
Something happened.
Something happened.
Something happened to me, too.
I felt it in the questions you asked her.
“But can you remember it?” And I wanted to scream.
We all wanted to scream. NO! Stop!
Not again. . .
Please.
Please.
Please.
(I’m so tired of saying please.)
Something happened.
Something happened.
Something happened to me, too.
As I watched the good men sit in their seats,
And all the same leaders continue to lead.
Something happened to me.
The fog rolled in.
I started to sink.
The same way I did then,
-when something happened to me.
