Lost

-



inhale... 



Do you know 
the pain so deep 
The grief that suffocates you 
the regret that kicks you 
or the lost that leaves you feeling paralyzed 
where do I go from here
there is a lost that feels deeper than any
the lost 
I can't escape it 
nor can I ignore it 
sometimes I wonder if it the waves of this reality 
will take over
what I thought was a 3 ft pool
will it turn into the ocean?
with waves roaring
 can it be controlled? 



exhale.

On one end, we have a mid 20's black woman who is trying to

  I'm writing on my phone at a stop light in Norman, because I don't want to forget what I just experienced. I feel things coming together for me. Decolonize data. Health Equity, and people of color. I've never felt more seen and heard more at my time at my job than I have when Abigail Echo-Hawk was here. Her words were captivating, her heart was on fire, and she opened the eyes of everyone in the room. Things often get white washed by white eyes and it pisses me off. Abigail said everything I have been trying to tell my white colleagues and more in such an eloquent way that bought tears to my eyes. I hope that I can speak to crowds like she does, and make strides in the lives of my people.
