When writing about my experience isn’t enough

there are so many voices.

strong voices,

powerful voices

there are so many voices far more knowledgable

there are so many voices far more insightful

there are so many voices far less privileged

there are so many voices who have seen something and done more

there are so many voices who have been through pain and live through the unimaginable

daily

there are so many voices who are aching for a nation that is lost and so wrong

there are so many voices crying out for justice

so many voices in outrage for peace

so many voices who can better capture the tide and direct the current

so many voices that demand action and desire answers,

answers that can never add up

there are so many voices in the chorus, it’s a wonder any of us still sing

any of us still fight

any of us still feel

any of us still look forward

with hope

There are so many voices, what can mine add?

what can yours say?

there are so many voices

but we still need to be heard

you still need to be heard

I still need to be heard

for reasons unknown

for ripples that may go unseen

but that move the tides just the same
