...whatever the title word inspires... as poem or prose...

This is Hardcore

Feeling like I never belonged

I latched onto a scene

Loud, angry and dirty

It had the same energy as me

Internalized my environment

Became the noise drowning me out

Forced to be quiet for so long

It felt good to finally open my mouth

I became a human bullhorn

There was no keeping my voice down

From seeing red and being cornered

It felt like I had choices now

I found my trusted allies

This feels like sacred ground

Its the smile after getting hit in the pit

When I knew my place was found

Its ours, not yours, and it alway has been

But if youre feeling it at all you could be considered a friend

Can't choose to have this in your bones, you don't have to pick

Youre family now, tell em gatekeep this dick
