If remembered, relived violation
battered and bruised you this day;
if unexamined privilege
and barely restrained belligerence
pierced your heart,
assailed your soul,
distressed your mind,
sapped your strength;
and barely restrained belligerence
pierced your heart,
assailed your soul,
distressed your mind,
sapped your strength;
know,
as day ends,
know:
as day ends,
know:
you are not alone
you are stronger than you imagine,
you are believed,
you are beloved.
you are stronger than you imagine,
you are believed,
you are beloved.
