Love
We hold glances
when we cannot press
hands.
The weight lifts for a
time.

#BeKind
Kindness is not just
a superficial absence
of hatred. It’s L O V E.

My White Skin
My white skin means that
I have never had to think
about my white skin.

Inclusivity
We thought an open
invitation was enough.
It was not enough.

It’s Okay
It’s okay to cry.
Please cry when it hurts
because then I can cry too.

Disappointment
Disappointment means
That we hoped and
that we tried.
That we were alive.

This post is part of an advent series. Twenty-Four diverse voices have been invited to share some thoughts on one of four themes (Hope, Peace, Joy and Love) each day during the season of Advent. Each contributor has been given just one theme and no further parameters – they may write as much or as little in the style of their own choosing.
