Processing …

I am not being silent, I am still
I am processing
If you’re taking the time right now to process, that doesn’t make you less Black
With media being thrown in our faces 24/7
You deserve to be still
If you didn’t watch the videos
If you didn’t dive deep into the stories
If it’s too much right now
You are not less Black
Take some time, process
I can’t promise healing, we never truly heal as Black people
The next story comes so fast and the wound is re-opened before a scab began to form
Use your anger, in whatever way you see fit
Grieve, feel it
We don’t deserve this shit
