Crier
Stefani Boutelier
I was never a crier
But my heart keeps breaking
Quarantined from truth
The marginalized
The oppressed
Opportunity spectrum
The gap is widening
I will not cry
Kids whose safety was in the four walls
Of our classrooms
Food
Insecurities
Health
Instabilities
Don’t cry
Trolls
Hatred
Bipartisanism
Petty
Disbelief
I cannot believe it
Unemployment
Stimulus
Terminally ill
Last goodbyes
Via facetime
Hold it in
Try not to take it personal
The constant hate
Disregard for humanity
Dis-empathy
Distant from reality
I cry
