I am
Scintillating between rage and relentless optimism
Rage against:
Injustice
Unfairness
Hate
Anger
Egomania
Ignorance
Self-righteousness
Spending too much energy on fruitless anger
Nothing to come off it but exhaustion
Drawing from deep within:
Light
Connection
Support
Love
Friendship
Stories
Art
Make the light stick!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Not sure if this is still part of the poem or not ….
Stop being offended for the sake of satisfying self-righteousness
Your anger is not strength
It is fear compressed into tunnel vision
Strength is the ability to listen
To challenge your own worldview
To understand that the other
Holds as much worth as you
