Sometimes I don't feel strong...

Sometimes my fight is gone

Sometimes I don't know what to do Sometimes I can't bring myself to move

Sometimes I lose my light Sometimes there's too much pain in this life

Sometimes I forget how to love...

Sometimes I've just had enough . . . These days I've been feeling so tired

of standing up to oppression,

of fighting for my choices.

There is so much separation;

so many attempts to control.

So many ways that our humanity and individuality

are being threatened. . . It's okay to feel overwhelmed,

afraid, lost, hopeless.

What's more important is that we try to keep our hearts open.

There is medicine in the feeling

of all the sorrow and disappointment.

It's okay to reach out for help;

It is a need of ours to feel safe

to feel held in this world. . . From the deepest places of my heart,

know that you are loved.

You have family here beyond your blood, beyond your body.

We are all holding each others' hands,

walking each other home,

into the light,
