Sitting in solidarity…
In solidarity with people who are crying
People who are not joyous at a time when everyone tells you that you should be
In solidarity with those who have lost loved ones
Those who are alone and empty
Those who cannot give thanks in this moment
Those who are angry at this moment
Those who are asking, “why did this happen to me?”
I’m sitting in solidarity with those questioning their faith
With those questioning their body
With those questioning the people around them
With those questioning their very existence in this challenging space.
In solidarity with people who paint a smile to cover the tears
People who laugh to conceal a cry
People who hold onto their loved ones with the force they can no longer use on their little ones
I’m sitting…
In quiet… in mindful… in thoughtful and thoughtless spaces
In solidarity
With those who are still avoiding social media, family & friends
Those who need both quiet when the outside is too loud
And noise when the inside is too quiet
I’m sitting in solidarity with you
With momma’s and papa’s and mzazi’s and nana’s, and omi’s…
With me.
Beautiful!
Thank you. This is a very real description.
you’re welcome =)
