They don't know

The strength it takes

To keep that smile

To keep that calm tone

To wipe off their venomous words

To rephrase an answer

47 times

To laugh at those stale behind jokes

To disengage the lasers behind my eyes

To remain passive under purposeful agression

To homogenize my accent

To not acknowledge their bigotry where it stands

To repeatedly reward their bad behavior 

They don't know 

The strength it takes

To serve.
