To my sister, one of my heroes

Sometimes I feel
we were born into darkness

not the darkness of scary movies
devil worship
or moonless nights

but the darkness of people who can’t love each other
the darkness of alcoholics and racist grandparents
the darkness of people who doubt themselves so much
that they paralyze themselves,
remain frozen in a miserable stasis
for generation after generation

but not you, sis
and not me

we seek the light
