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.
I wish for a day where my dreams do not change for each day of the week.
But perhaps I do not.
Because some days I wish for a future where I am always busy, in a city that sleeps even less than I do.
We cheer and shake our cowbells, waving at passing cars.
Sometimes they roll down their windows, clapping and cheering back.
Sometimes they roll their eyes and look away, avoiding eye contact.
I'm not drowning in water, but words.
A feeling comparable to what I imagine standing under a waterfall feels like.
The longer you stand there, the more painful and heavy it gets.
