When I'm Banned. (Freeform poem about cancel culture.)

submitted by LarrySwinger2 from self.whatever

When I'm banned
I roll my eyes and shrug
I shake my head in disapproval
I chuckle and move on

A person of my level
Should never get entangled
In drama of the kind
That only little minds
Would care to get behind

Someone like me should just... move on
And climb a higher mountain top
There's so many things
Which I can excell in
That ostracism here and there
Handily filters where
I put my effort and attention
Like water which, where obstacles exist,
Happily flows along a twist
Toward the point of destination.

When I'm banned
I hold a celebration
I worry not about their accusations
The trouble is their own creation.
Yea, when I'm banned
Is when I revel.

This is really good. You should rap. For real.

Thanks! I did write a rap.

-> Leftist Paradise (Gangsta's Paradise parody)

I'm not performing it, though, I feel like my voice isn't good enough for that. Others are welcome to do it, though. I can give guidance on the rhythm.

"I take estrogen pills as I struggle at Yale

I can't live a normal life, trapped in the body of a male

I'll show you 'round campus where I waste my money and days

But you can't be in this room, 'cause this is my safe space

I got triggered by bigots while we were discussing Plato

So I pardoned myself and took time out for Play-Doh"

Ha! That is amazing. You should consider teaming up with a vocalist. You guys could be the Rob Hunter and Jerry Garcia of ironic rap.

Oh, I forgot to mention this, but the inspiration came from seeing the handle /u/WhenImBanned.
