I scroll down to avoid the pictures.
I scroll down to avoid the hate.
I scroll own to avoid the debate.
I scroll down because its not a debate.
My friend's lives are not a topic for my paper.
They have thoughts and feelings an dreams.
Instead I watch them fight, for basic human rights.
Debate the hate.
That's what they tell me.
Be an ally, walk the talk.
But instead I scroll.
Afraid to get involved.
Afraid to be;
Forever caught in a "debate" that isn't a debate.
Afraid to say the wrong thing.
Afraid to overstep.
Afraid.
And so I scroll down.
Part of the problem.
Wanting to be part of the solution.
But instead I scroll.
