Blink (a poem)

An hour lasts forever.
A lifetime’s just a blink.
The time it takes to get there
is never what you think.

I’m the invisible girl, nobody knows exists, visible only to myself. I shrink from view, strategically blending into the background.

One voice. One mind. One nation. One people, divided.

The bullies carried baseball bats wrapped in chain and tape. Now they use both laws and lies to hit us with their hate.

I am a hero to some, a villain to others. A friend and an enemy, all in one breath.

Within Every Single Word Lies Strength.   Opening Minds Revealing Hearts Long Stagnant.

I’m falling apart, and a part of me is falling, falling to the ground below.

Somehow you will get through it all

Sometimes, it feels quite personal,
an attack directed at me.

It’s quiet.
Except for nurses
in the hallway.
