Time to Grow

 

-------Time to Grow-------

 

Rejecting the idea 

turned institution 

of supremacy

 

Is not rejecting 

the person

it claims to be supreme.

 

I am done with shame.

 

This is not serving anybody,

or anything, 

but empire.

 

I am done believing that I,

inherently beautiful human,

could be inherently wrong.

 

I am done

being used

by the oppressor.

 

It is time to grow up.

 

Time 

to acknowledge the harm

and change it.

 

To let go 

this over-ripened fruit

of complicity

 

So it may recompose

back into earth,

into new life

 

Remembering the dreams,

the love

and possibility

 

That all 

convey 

within.
