Hi all,
This poem was written after a few diversity seminars. The context is that I
struggle with wanting to be a part of the diversity solution but often feel
because of being white, I find myself afraid to join in even though my heart
aches to help.
Thanks for reading.
On the inside
By Ann Chiappetta
White on the surface
Experience-tinted
Female- Pigmented
Painted with blind, somber Hues
I met Ugliness
Who yelled
Threatened
rejected
and Spat.
Fear is Shame; shame is fear.
Words pressed with plastic keys
Are the hope released
Dispersed in the collective atmosphere.
2020
