Today ... A moment in time

Today I felt like a child
Once again, I felt the
The hope that flowed through me while I was still innocent
The pride that I roared before I lost my voice
The dreams that I had before I was blinded
The satisfaction of freedom before it was frightened out of me
The proof of equality before I was exposed to discrimination
The love for my neighbor before I was betrayed
The responsibility to change what I can, instead of placing blame
