You're Doing Great

one day you’ll believe
in the mirror reflection 
of your humanity, casted
in smile lines, in healing, 
in growth, in the revolution.

and until then, those of us
who see you as you are, 
as you were, as you will be, 
will continue to search for 
your silhouette in the horizon. 

Backline for Abolition

if I should die
before we wake
I pray my soul
the revolution take

Space

sometimes I just don't
know how much I can hold and 
would like to be held

Trust

when "good" is 
simply not tragic, 
and tragic feels familiar 
to the shape of your
body when you drift 
back into your bones.

know that I won’t, 
I don’t plan to, 
I couldn’t
leave you 

behind.
