November 9th, 2016

Today is overcast
Today is grim
Today is sorrow
Today is disappointment
Today is hurt
Today is anger
Today is rage
Today is unacceptable
Today is shame
Today is fear
Today is when things didn't change
Today is when patriarchy and white power win
AGAIN

Today is not for us
Today we get to grieve
Today we get to feel
Today we get to hurt

We have lost
We have lost hope
We have lost power
We have lost friends
We have lost family

The fight has to continue and yes the sun rises
Life goes on
But we have today
We own today

We can grieve
Don't take this day away from us
You've taken everything else
