To my tribe of Earthlings 
Suffering from diseases of despair
Fueled by systemic socio-economic gaps

Sondering through, as synaptic blips 
In the web of each other’s lives 

If I show up with 
Unconditional positive regard
Will you pay it onward
Moving forward 

Existing on an emotional spectrum
We don’t have to hurt in return
In addition to PTSD, there is also PTG
(Post traumatic growth)
