Path of frustration
I try to step out and see the path in front of me,
Hindered by associations, misconceptions, inactions,
To reach the potential in the moment,
The lessons learned too late and not clear,
Shed the doubt and reach the fear,
Noise in the background grows stronger,
Feelings hurt and left to wander,
Another day, another sunset,
Living true in personal reaction,
Breaking bonds to set myself free.
Sometimes it feels like you just can't win even with the effort and the understanding. For some reason the person who was hurt by the comments from others in a group that is helping with ppd decided that ppd must be held in contempt. There is nothing that I can do about it. I have tried reason and I have explained the purpose behind ppd, but it doesn't matter, this person is still going to spread the word to everyone they know to not go to ppd. In reality, I don't care if no one shows up. This is for the community even if the community doesn't want it. If it doesn't have a large attendance this year, then it will just reduce back to a simple picnic and gathering. I though myself at a problem and I keep getting smacked in the face. I will keep working towards healing this community. Even if I have to go at it alone. I have no choice. I am here and must do my part to heal and help this community to grow. If people do not like me or some of the people who help me then they will just have to deal with it, because I will not back down. I was brought to this community, my hands were placed here, so here is where I must work. To do less is to dishonor myself and my ancestors, cultural and spiritual. I refuse to be held in a fight without bonds or ties. I must be true to my beliefs and do what I feel is right, even if it leads down the path of frustration. If I do not help than I will never truly be apart of the whole, but something else and separate.
