We survived another year
Full of petty drama
Anxiety
Stupid arguments
That ended in tears and broken hearts
Full of political extremes
Tense dinner tables
And car rides
Full of lectures
From people who think have the answer
But don't even know what the question was
Full of scary news
Things that should not have happened in this day and age
Victim-blaming
Jokes about serious things that aren't funny
Violence and hate
Misogyny, racism and prejudice
Darkness
But hope too
Full of losing friends
And making new ones
Picking up the pieces
Slowly and carefully
Full of growth
Acceptance and
Love
Video chats with internet friends
And funny conversations
Full of good music
Thought provoking books
Well written
Poems and scripts
Funny and educational videos
Comfort in our virtual community
The start of a new era
Where people are informed
And we talk about issues
Share our experiences
Help others
Where we fought
And lost
And hoped
And gained
We survived
And we thrive
