We protest against perceived injustice
We protest against ourselves
for not protesting earlier,
letting it all
take over your life
perceived failures
gnaw at your core
…then one day
we stop protesting
and reclaim ourselves
beyond this point
we are the only ones
accountable

Holding oneself to account should push us forward 👍 Nice write Reena clp
