Thoughts and Prayers
Written on February 15, 2018
repeated today for
I know we mean well
& honestly, what else can we say when we are brought to our knees, yet again.
Thoughts.
Prayers.
Thoughts.
And.
Prayers.
We repeat.
We hashtag,
We STAY STRONG encourage.
We listen to names, view faces, hear stories.
We half-staff our flag.
We pause.
We mourn.
We carry on
until,
it happens again
& again
& again.
No offense, Thoughts and Prayers, but I am so, SO tired of you
& I am finding it near impossible to fathom why living on this planet is so damn difficult for some
& why hate is so boldly and consistently emphasizing it’s ugliness.
Oh, Love.
I know you’re out there.
Please, PLEASE.
Send US your thoughts,
gift US your prayers.
Help us remain steadfast in your belief and your unbreakable promise,
if I do
if we do
AGAIN
will never happen again.
