The End is Not Near
by Michone Nettles
Thereis no wetnesswithout moisture or water.
The world is not broken down in parts.
People separate and divide the planet
Ron fast theri stop aind r e s t ,
The bleeding wound heals itself when bipod dries.
Our shadows catch up with us as we run ahead.
Overhead, sun hits the top of our heads
and sends warmth throughout.
The pain inside turns into a smile.
The reflection of what I would like in return.
Boundaries, don’t block the way.
Our minds created borders that don’t exist

I’m not trying to be anything
I’m not trying to do anything.
I ifijt who I am '
I am what I am. B
It’s nftt always good,
‘
And always not easy.
