The Quilt that covers us

Signs of defeat. The hands and knees on the ground.
The tears roll down. Fist clenched. The need to scream aloud.
Words. So few. The silence. The chaos.
The quilt that covers us.
Scream! she says. SCREAM!
With every decibel. It releases fear. With every decibel. It releases regret.
Have faith she says. It'll come to be. The possibility, lowest as it may be.
A black dot is still a stain on a white cloth.
Be Quite! Reflect. Know. Feel. Understand.
She pushes. She discriminates. She stays. She Believes.
She'll be there.
The quilt that covers us.
