Yonique Myrie, GREAT Housing Organizer
This poem was written by Yonique after one of the first GREAT Wellness Check-Ins, a sometimes regularly-occurring gathering where folks in the group can share how they are doing personally, feeling, or support needed.
No man is an island ?
So they say
Lost or stranded ?
To be found
Any day
Water in the way
No swimming away
Staying a float
Balancing in it out
Drowning out thoughts
In the abyss of confusion
Of what I am ?
Of who I am ?
Soothing wave?
Deathly wave?
A wave of a white flag
In the midst of the blue sea
Can you see me?
Hear me?
Are you near me?
