Even though it’s hard to grasp, a better tomorrow will be here at last

Eyes wide awake in horror from the previous day

Lips shaking,

Yes I’m petrified.

I’m more than afraid.

Did you see what happened to her?

Do you see the discrimination committed against him?

It’s hard to watch all of these sins

Permeate our ether

Without affecting us from within

I’m learning to distance myself from the ever present terrors of this world

Whether that be an ex-friend

Ex-lover

A foe.

I’m taking the high road

Just as Michelle Obama said long ago.
