A Privilege
Imagine being
So obsessed with yourself
So out of touch with
Anyone else’s experience
That you hear
A stranger’s negative experiences
As a burden
To your own positive energies.
Imagine
Being that fucking narcissistic
Imagine
Being that entitled, being that out of touch
Imagine being able
To silence someone’s life experience
Because it’s uncomfortable to you
And doesn’t fit with your world view—
Now that—
Is a privilege
