Typed This With My Chest: All 38D’s
Typed this with my chest.
Not a whisper.
Not a subtweet.
A direct deposit of
disrespect — sent from
these 38 D’s, and cc’d to
everybody who ever
thought I wouldn’t.
Typed this for the ones who
forgot I don’t owe them
softness.
For the lowercase men who
think healing is a hoax
but still need women to
translate their emotions.
For the women who throw
shade in the name of
“concern” when I’m gone—
but go silent when I enter
the room.
I peeped it.
I filed it.
I typed through it.
Typed this for the friends
who disappeared when the
truth got uncomfortable,
but still follow for content
like I’m a one-woman
TED Talk.
For the ex who thinks
silence is safety—
baby, this is me speaking
fluently in closure he never
earned.
For the mentors who were
only mirrors until I outgrew
the frame.
For the coworkers who
loved my light until it lit up
their shadows.
Typed this with a manicure
and a motive.
You wanted humble.
You wanted quiet.
You wanted compliant
brilliance you could quote
but never credit.
But I’m not here to be
likable.
I’m here to be legendary.
Typed this with a spine
forged in abandonment.
With a clapback built from
every receipt I archived
instead of sending—
until now.
This isn’t call-out culture.
It’s consequence culture.
And every single word was
earned.
So if your ears are burning,
don’t reach for ice.
Reach for growth.
Because I typed this with
my chest.
And the bra didn’t even
flinch.
Names redacted —
for now.
