not seeing what you saw
not trusting your word even
though i know you experienced it
not starting to unlearn sooner
not understanding
until i saw the numbers
50-50 is not the same as
30-70
And then it all fell into place.
The history.
The blood.
The oppression.
My privilege.
I could choose not to see
not to trust
not to understand
not to unlearn.
I choose now to see
to trust and understand
to unlearn and
to mourn.
