Not Just a Person

They say,

“Just a person.”

But I-

I see more.

I see eyes that have witnessed different worlds.

Eyes that have seen both the beauty and the brutality of life.

Eyes that have watched injustice unfold yet still dare to dream.

I hear accents that carry stories-

Stories of struggle.

Stories of survival.

Stories of dreams not yet silenced.

I see hands that have worked hard to succeed,

Hands that have built,

Hands that have nurtured,

Hands that have healed.

I see faces-

Beautiful, colorful faces-

Faces with history,

With ancestry,

With deep-rooted culture,

And an unshakable pride.

They say,

“Just a person.”

But I see a life-

Rich and radiant,

Worthy of being seen.

Waking Up from the Lie

A nurse’s fight to speak out, heal, and spark systemic change.
