A Slew of Poems Unrevised

Vulnerability

I feel silence and quiet
A lil resentful but not violent
Frustrated by the current
That leaves in burden
Grabbing on to nothing
Ropes I wish to hold
Or something
Maybe to attached to the emotions
That change
So when they switch
I am damaged
Existing is sometimes
Hard
For me to wrap my body around it
Do I just stand here
Is that the way I make the change
Or do I go out and chase the earth
Climb the avalanches
If the power lies within me
Then why am I left feeling powerless
To the external forces
That want to kill me
Cause I'm melanated &
women
& vunerable
Unconfident activist
You found me crying
After the protest was over…
