(Not) Alone

I have only one voice

But I'm not just one voice

Yet

When I speak out

I feel alone

When I stand firm

I feel alone

When I refuse to cede space

I feel alone

I am only one person

But I'm not just one person

Yet

When I take action

I feel alone

When I risk confrontation

I feel alone

When I refuse to back down

I feel alone

When I declare myself human

I feel alone

And then

Suddenly

I don't

And then

Suddenly

I feel my community

I feel the history of our defiance

I feel the strength of our numbers

One

By

One

Feeling Alone

And never actually

Being

Alone
