Boy

Boy is a term that is used for a slave, a servant. I am indentured to no mortal. So don't call me boy.
Boy is a term of belittlement, and I won't stand to be belittled. So don't you dare call me boy.
Boy is a term that strips me of everything that I have worked to achieve for my entire life. So don't you dare to ever call me boy.
Boy is a term that is very much becoming the antithesis of who I have become, and I will not allow you to call me something so demeaning. So don't you fucking dare to ever call me boy.
Boy is not my name and it is not a title of affection. If you must call me out of my name, then call me man, call me friend, call me terms of endearment. But, never drop so low as to call me boy.
Boy is a term that shows the ignorance of this world, and it should never be placed upon someone who has died so many times.
Boy is a term that sets ablaze an anger in my soul, so tread carefully if you decide to call me "boy" lest it be the thing that you are going to be stuck with in my eyes. So tell me, do you still see a being that should be called boy?
