Sometimes I feel
by Laurel Snyder
Sometimes I feel
I made this in many parts
in many spaces
all of them close to home.
These are glimmers of freedom
specs of hope
moments of awakening
instances of acknowledgement.
Recognizing
my emotion
my privilege
my mistakes
my learning
my power
my humility
I speak for myself.
I listen and accept
my ignorance.
Influence is undeniable.
SORRY doesn’t fix it.
introspection
self
reflection
tools for change
instruments of empathy.
center
without
centering
process complexity
without
crumbling.
Sorting through this mess
my mess
our mess
is my
is our responsibility.
