This story is the first in Truthout's "Visions of 2018" series, in which activist leaders answer the question: "What would you like to see created, built, imagined or begun this year?" Each piece will focus on a bold idea for transformation, to give us fuel as the year moves forward.
"So, the next time I tell you how easily I come out of my skin, don't try to put me back in
just say here we are together at the window aching for it to all to get better
but knowing as bad as it hurts our hearts may have only just skinned their
knees knowing there is a chance the worst day might still be coming
let me say right now for the record, I'm still gonna be here ...
you -- you stay here with me, okay?
You stay here with me."
