i\u00a0see them walking in the streets\u00a0
i\u00a0know them, those walking in the streets\u00a0
the fear, the terror.\u00a0
even though they are white,\u202f\u00a0
they are not immune.\u00a0
not invulnerable.\u00a0
I am scared.\u00a0
i\u00a0want what is right.\u00a0
Justice.\u202f\u00a0
Freedom.\u00a0
just like the Constitution promised us.\u00a0
while they are out there, walking in the streets\u00a0
i\u00a0am at home\u00a0
scared\u00a0
frustrated that I can\u2019t do more\u00a0
how do\u00a0i\u00a0reach out?\u00a0
tell them:\u00a0
\u201cI see you! I want to be that brave!\u201d\u00a0
but my support feels fake\u00a0
my anxiety about all this\u00a0
is almost overwhelming\u00a0
as\u00a0i\u00a0sit at home, trying my best\u00a0
to do my part\u202f\u00a0
(it doesn\u2019t feel like enough)\u00a0
i\u00a0wonder:\u00a0
what would my family say about me going?\u00a0
if\u00a0i\u00a0went? if\u00a0i\u00a0supported that?\u00a0
If I went walking in the streets?\u00a0
they say the media is jaded but so are we\u00a0
we, the last generation, who are walking the streets\u00a0
we have become the hurt, the cynical, the activists\u00a0
it is late in the night and\u00a0i\u00a0find\u00a0myself\u00a0shaking and crying\u00a0
crying for the loss of lives in the POC community,\u00a0
crying for the safety of my friends,\u00a0
crying because\u00a0
I feel like I\u00a0should be out there too,\u00a0
walking in the streets.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
