Don’t mistake my silence for softness.
Thank you dear Nina
Wow. Just wow. Amazing work.
Thank you Eric
So much in this poem I love, Rebecca! This:
"I learned to read the room
before I learned to read"
and:
"So don’t tell me to calm down.
Don’t tell me to speak gently.
Don’t tell me I’m too angry
when all I’ve done
is survive the systems
you keep pretending can be fixed
with a taskforce and a timeline."
🙌🏽
“You talk about resilience
like it’s a certificate.
Ours came with broken sleep”. Funny how this resonated with me, with deep insomnia episodes and having to work next morning 8am. 😣 This poem is amazing and necessary.
It's why I work evening shifts only in nursing, because I don't sleep well at night. Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment 🙏
The moment I found out about social capital is the moment I realised that meritocracy is completely false.
Yes. There is no trickle down bullshizzle. Only greed at the top.
