It's out of our control
And so we'll sit and watch
As a despicable man
Takes
And takes
And takes
"Stay strong"
"Don't give up"
"There's power in silence."
At least that's what they say
But what will happen on
January 20th,
Inauguration day?
"The fight is not over"
Then tell me what I can do
NOW
Because sitting and staying silent,
Feels anything but strong.
Posted in response to the challenge Inauguration/MLK Day.
When I think of the color green, I think of the trees behind my school. In kindergarten, when kids were cruel and words hurt more than sticks or stones, the trees were there.
I made tea this morning.
I put the leaves in, watching the steam dance with childlike wonder.
I returned to my laptop, staring at a half finished chapter, the bags under my eyes more apparent than ever.
Moving on is different for everyone, and eventually, you’ll never think of them again.
Is what I hear from everyone.
