Nice and Syria and Dhaka and Dallas and Orlando, I'm sorry that you were yesterday's headline
Charles Kinney, you angel, I'm sorry you have to live with that moment for the rest of your life
Alton Sterling and Philando Castile and all my other black brothers and sisters killed from police brutality, I'm sorry that your names have become echos just as the bullets have
Christina Grimmie, your voice still sings sharp and clear in my head. I still can't believe you're gone
I have not forgotten any of you, and I never will
You are sewn into my conscience and as much as I hope to not need to add onto this list, I fear that it will happen
Whether hurt or dead, I've put you in my prayers and speak I shall for I'm as bad as the killers if I don't
I'm sorry that you've become part of the hashtags that will soon disappear
I'm sorry that you got what you didn't deserve
I'm sorry that there are people within this world that know not of love but rather prejudice and terror
I'm so sorry
Ankita Bhat
