You got a favorite hope?

You got a favorite hope?
Hold it
You are here
Cause
Ancestors
Held theirs
Even
As they prepared
For dark days.

You were born not human

I get the angry
But the fear…
You were their hope
Tell that story!
Never again.
Each child
A blessing.

They left a path.
You gonna cry
cause past
hurts?
-somedays-

You gonna
Disappear
Cause they find
More convenient?

Gotta hold that space
Silence
A teaching
A beauty
A truth
You hold
Not a weapon
Or forgetting

Cause we welcome
All freaks
We all broken
Born “Wrong”
Too much
Too little
But hope
Got a way

We take turns holding on.

That’s my favorite hope
