I'm angry. I'm exhausted. I'm sick of being abused at every turn.
I'm sick of being disgusted.
I'm sick of being on high alert to the next trauma inflicted on the most vulnerable.
I'm sick of watching people who desperately need help being stepped on by the richest.
I'm sick of this evil regime always inflicting the most harm possible to the most vulnerable among us.
I'm sick of seeing our heritage squandered on short term private industry profits.
I'm sick of always being filled w hate for the most abusive members of this cabal of cruelty.
I'm tired of falling asleep by counting the latest atrocity. I'm tired of waking up to real nightmares.
I'm sick of the most evil people given free passes to abuse to their hearts content.
I'm sick of calling out warnings to deaf ears & i'm exhausted from banging the alarm bells.
But if they think any of this means i'm giving up?
They have a surprise coming.
Because i'm tired I know I have to take the best care of myself i can. That means eating right & getting enough sleep.
Because i'm angry i know i have to channel these feelings into political capital.
Which means reaching out to grass roots organizations & attending marches, networking w candidates, & funding what I can.
Because i'm frustrated i can empathize w all the other resisters & i can lend support & ask for it in return.
Because i'm scared, i know the children need my strength even more than ever before.
They need to see us trembling w fear & still stand up.
They need to hear our voices quivering w anger & still we speak out.
They need to see our tears fall as we do not look away from the suffering.
Because we're tired our fight is even more Energized than ever before. Because we're angry our hearts need to fill with love for the targets of abuse.
Because we're frustrated we need to create space for those who are marginalized & amplify their needs.
Abusers may think that being tired & angry makes us vulnerable. What they don't get is this vulnerability is our super power & goes to the heart of why we will win.
We can reach through our vulnerability & come out stronger than ever before. Our tears do not make us weak. Our fears do not make us cowards. Our anger does not make us belligerent.
It makes us stronger.
Lean in to what is scaring you now. Reach out to the rest of us.
We only win if we support each other. If they can't stop us in our hearts then they can't stop us anywhere.
