“Intuitive disparities”
suggests imbalances or differences in the way intuition is valued or marginalized. This could be a commentary on the societal tendency to overlook or dismiss intuitive knowledge, particularly when it comes from marginalized or non-conforming voices. The emphasis on intuition may also speak to the need for a more holistic and intuitive approach to healing and understanding oneself in the face of systemic challenges.
“Sexual disparities”
draws attention to imbalances related to sexuality, hinting at the unequal treatment and societal expectations placed on individuals based on their sexual orientation or identity. This line could be an exploration of the ways in which society imposes norms and expectations, leading to disparities and injustices for those whose sexual identities fall outside conventional boundaries.
“Systematic therapy” suggests a deliberate and methodical approach to healing or self-improvement. This could reflect the protagonist’s journey towards self-recovery, highlighting the importance of structured, therapeutic processes.
The mention of a “masculine cut deep” introduces the idea of emotional wounds, which might be inflicted by traditionally masculine attributes or actions. It could symbolize the pain associated with societal expectations and gender roles.

The repetition of “They Wounded (our) intellect” emphasizes the impact of external forces on intellectual aspects, suggesting a deliberate and harmful influence. This could symbolize societal norms or oppressive ideologies that inflict wounds on intellectual freedom or critical thinking. The repetition underscores the depth and persistence of these wounds.
However, the poem asserts resilience with the lines “But We have them Spirits – them intersex- they intersex,” celebrating the enduring spirit that transcends binary norms and embraces intersectionality.
