Create.
Opportunities for yourself.
Hold your foot in the door even though it’s slamming into your foot over and over again.
When the door closes,
Kick that wall until you break open another try.
A prayer for normalcy.
Your every step can’t help but grind riots of inquiry into the dusty dirt.
And as we dared to be human they moved behind us and began to blow again, propelling us to places our natural strengths could never carry us.
There is an oceanic pain-knowing, a tide no soul should ever be made to swim against.
Children are being torn from the arms of their mothers.
This hunger is what is meant to keep our hearts beating.
