how do people do it?

She might be been just another statistic
But Deborah Danner was from MY community
She was well known and loved
She was in a mental health crisis
The police shot her in her home

How do people do it?
Calling the police is scary
I don't want to have blood on my hands
But I need safety

Is this what life is about?
Protecting abusers
Because they fit one of the many profiles
that police tend to target
Because we see the value of a life?
And afraid intervention will turn into bloodshed
Because as survivors
we don't want to be
like the demons we fight
And would rather continue
to battle
everyday.
