This is for
the strangers on the internet
who leave comments
because they can,
who say keep going
who say “me too”
who say you’re not alone.
This is for
the strangers on the internet
who choose to lift others up
because there’s room at the table
and space on the bench,
so you might as well
come matter here.
This is for
the strangers on the internet who know
that affirmations are a super power
and women need not compete with other women
because we rise up together.
This is for
the strangers on the internet
who share memes that invite laughter
who share videos of puppies
who share all manner of hope and good news
because a drop in the ocean
might be the drop you need.
This is for
the strangers on the internet
who, without even knowing it,
invite my inner critic
out into the sun
where shadows grow small;
and once again,
there is room in me
for a poem to grow.
