Forty nine years of
Reproductive rights that now
Are more than threatened
Likely will be gone
But it won’t stop pregnancies
Or men from pleasure
The repeal of Roe
Will only stop women from
Opportunity
From advancing
That’s what conservatives want…
Women without rights.
Sometimes it’s so hard
To keep fighting for your “dreams”
And, as I get old
It’s, increasingly
More difficult, yet urgent
To feel accomplished
Please don’t get me wrong
I am very privileged
I understand that
But, I also feel
That I always come up short
Destined to only
Stand just to the side
While others take the spotlight
It’s…disheartening.
Starting a new year
May lead some to nervousness
What was left behind?
Where are we going?
Are we doing enough stuff?
Or not enough stuff?
Let me remind you
Time is merely a construct
For our human brains
You are right here, now
Leave behind what you want to
Manifest new things
But you are not late
And you are not too early
You simply are here.
The stockings were hung
And presents were wrapped days past
For blended Christmas
For divorced parents
And their kids for that matter
Christmas is flowing
Could be 25th
But usually it’s another
Always with family
