"Call Us Broken Records"
"Call us victims.
Call us wayward.
Call us bitter, resentful, loud, brash, troublesome, wounded, grieved, or broken.
Call us foolish for using social media as a platform for our voices to be heard.
Call us attention whores with daddy issues, chained to our past, unwilling to heal because our wounds are familiar.
Call us liars, truth-benders, slanderers, gossipers, dissenters.
Call us speed bumps, run over us and act as though you didn't notice the jostling. Readjust yourself in your seat and continue on your way. Ignore the cries. A hit and run.
Not this time. We will not accept radio silence.
Call us broken records. We're not done."
“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.” - Benjamin Franklin
