I wonder what my worldview will be in 10 years.
I hear my people's cries for help.
I see people walk right past the hungry and the hurting.
I want to change the way that people think and act, but I cannot do it alone.
I am an activist who loves reading.
I pretend that everything is okay, even when it is falling apart.
I feel the pain of not standing up for what I believe in.
I touch the hearts of people who will listen,
I worry that I have not done enough.
I cry for the ones I will not be able to help.
I am an activist who loves reading.
I understand that I may never achieve the goals I have set for myself.
I say "everything will be okay" even when I know it is a lie.
I dream about the futures I may never have because of my gender.
I try to make a difference in any way I can.
I hope that it will all have been enough.
I am an activist who loves reading.
