comfort
is a fortunate thing.
to feel safe
and supported
i am comfortable.
i am spoiled to the point
where i feel guilty.
i hear poems about white privilege
and i know
that i have it
but what can i do?
i have a family that cares
and friends that know what its like
to be torn apart
and im torn apart
because i feel guilty
for being comfortable.
i grew up in one of the richest counties in the country
im educated by young, innovative teachers
but there are children out there
that dont even have access to a roof.
i feel guilty.
i find myself wanting to make a difference.
