As I sit here typing this, I am having trouble finding the words to say what’s in my head. There has been SO MUCH that has happened in the last two weeks. To say that I am overwhelmed would be an understatement. A lot has happened in the last year. A year where we encountered a lot of roadblocks and hurdles. A year where we tried to make our voice heard, to get those who can change the situation and make it better. However, the biggest roadblock we faced – one where we were yelling the loudest about and needed to most help with – ended up falling on deaf ears.
As I sit here, my mind racing about what steps to take next, all I can hear is a ticking clock. There were supposed to be measures in place that SHOULD have fixed this. Measures that SHOULD have prevented things from getting this far. Everyone in this situation had a role to play. I can scream as loud as I want until I’m blue in the face about it, about where things went wrong. I can play the scenario over and over again, trying to come up with ways that could have changed the outcome. However, if you’re dealing with an individual who knows how to work the system and can hide his true self behind a flawless image, I am being made to feel like I’m invisible. The truth may be hiding right there in plain sight, but if you’ve got individuals who refuse to see it…
My mind is racing. I know what has been happening is very much real. Even when I’m being made to think it’s all in my head.
