I stand
Tall,
Surrounded
By the light that is not of my own,
Lifted, supported,
By arms outstretched,
Uplifting,
Gifting,
Small pieces from each
To build a new whole,
In and through me,
And my dream

In There
Where are you?
You are in there somewhere,
We are not giving up on you,
You are there,
You are,
And we will help you,
Will find you,
No, it’s not easy,
But you are not alone,
You will make it through.
Wildest Dreams
And so it starts,
Here I’m at the beginning,
Of my wildest dreams.
Breathe (It will be okay)
Your hurting hurts,
The pain may linger,
But you are strong
Even at your weakest,
Even when you can do nothing
But cry,
You persevere,
Because
What else can you do?
You could give up,
But you won’t,
And you don’t,
And still you must cry,
Tears bathe your wounds,
And then you breathe,
Another breath,
Another day,
And yes,
It will be okay
But the Law Says
“But the law says…”
And so we never question right,
Nor wrong?
Assuming authorities have already mapped
It all out,
Foreseen the future,
And been unbiased parties in the development,
In the execution
Of said rules,
We are just meant to heed
What our overlords say,
Never question whether blind Justice
Has truly yet made her way.
Cruel (First Day of School)
We will take your child,
Take your parents and home,
White supremacy,
None are outside its domain,
On this cruel first day of school
