An Ode to Toxic Cycle Breakers

I see you,
in homes, schools, and workplaces.
The first to sense toxicity
and do something about it.

I see your efforts,
all the extra work you have to do because you are the first.
I see the foundations you are laying,
even if those standing on those foundations don’t.
