Knowing Our Struggles to Unify for Change
Community Poem Heading link
Who has inspired you to create a positive effect in your community & how do you honor them? What means do you use to speak change/transformation?
My friends that no longer breath and sacrificed so others can progress
Strong for myself, my family seeing my mother smile and for peers to encourage everyone
I have learned to inspire myself with all the struggles I’ve overcome
Pumpkin is no longer here but she’s inspired me in every way
By loving and understanding others
I know I’m honoring her
Transformation begins within. One cannot change the world for the better if their soul is dark and violent. Change comes when we are willing to change within ourselves
Stop… and listen. Stop… and quiet your mind and just listen. Transformation will come yes it will come but first… stop and listen
Stop, don’t wish for change because then it won’t come. Go, live and eventually will come the sun
Spread your wings like a newborn butterfly and fly home or wherever far far places you’ll go. Leave behind the tragedy but carry with you the memory and speak it.
Always speak it, they will try to shut you up, but speak up!
It’s not okay to run away
Conquer your fears, or you’ll be in tears
ART THERAPY
Catharsis
Make something from your frustration
Speak out! Don’t let them silence you.
I keep my post alive and don’t forget the words of those before me
I always ask where I’m from, I always feel the weight of sacrifice from the past and always have something to saw so give me your opinions _ I’ll fight for what’s right
No matter if it feels like my throat is tight
I take the right outlook in life
I am very submissive, but I don’t let that define my voice
My story is unexpected spaces
Justice for my people
Work hard at what you love
No matter the goal
How low or high above.
Aim for the stratusphere
Your status knows no fear
For the faith of sake
The leap you take will
And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make
We are beautiful people
