Momentum For Change

Poem, Thoughts 1 Minute

I still can’t breathe,
I still can’t breathe,
And I won’t breathe,
Until the weight has been lifted,

Not just for George Floyd,
Or for other black Americans,
But for all victims of authority and injustice,
Of which there are too many,

It is always there,
And I feel terrible for each example;

Yes, some hit closer to home than others,
But the growing visual evidence for these things,
Helps to build the necessary momentum,
To bring about necessary awareness and change,
Not just for these specific examples,
But for injustice and suffering at the hands of power, in general.

I write poems which are mental health-themed, creative or humourous :). Within mental health I write a lot about: ADHD, OCD, anxiety, autism, emotional traumaβ€” usually with an optimistic slant. My goals for my blog are to give myself a therapeutic, creative outlet whilst also being able to connect with and relate to other people.
