My mind has become an echo chamber of emotion and pain Reverberating the dreaded silence of those who claim to be allies King said we won't remember the words of enemies, but the silence of friends And I feel trapped in that end Claustrophobic, yet encased in–apathy That sin That deadly potion that so many partake in And I find myself attempting to study words on these pages But my mind just shifts back to the pain that enrages Befuddles and exchanges hope for disdain And I can no longer stand pushing onward through rain And as the green tinted fluorescent lights flicker around me I step forward, one foot behind the other, toward night Chasing solace and safety Beyond the walls imprisoning me in the shackles of empty words And hurt "What's up bro?" And as my head ascends Locking eyes with a friend Someone who can empathize with this mindset I'm in: Kalvin, brother in bronze skin And there, I dive in Sharing burdens with him Of the pains produced in that silence The spouted words of supremacy, the unchecked violence Of racist rhetoric and camouflaged sedatives Presented as Christianity, yet Satanically accredited And I watched as his hands shook in rage His eyes dilated, praying freedom from this reign And he called over Renata and Kelly, and with these three I continued to pour out what happened and we broke–together And in a moment, the sense of loneliness began to subside And with shallow breaths and tear filled eyes, we stood In lamentation And as we walked through the doors of that library The hallways surrounding became a sanctuary Adding Nathan and Bri, the six of us sat in solidarity And every word these friends spoke, every word they listened to Reached into my wounds and built something anew And in this moment, immersed in finals week I found myself surrounded as I'm weary and weak And when we should all be studying for tests Placing those things aside to sit and lament To be To sit amidst this injustice in solidarity And grieve And build And build
