A poem in response to Professor Hedican
In response to Edward Hedican, who disrespected a fellow U of G student with anxiety. This is dedicated to the student who was disrespected and sparked an outcry. To the students who stood up together and left in solidarity: I stand with you.
Anxiety is real
Anxiety is treacherous
Raging sea in the pit of your stomach
Not wanting to get out of bed
Waves of negativity thrashing onto the rocks
Thoughts pull you in close to drowning
Not knowing the next course of direction
Map and compass lost
Sailing in circles trying to figure out
How will I find my way again?
It takes a crew to steer a ship
To find your way
You mustn’t go it alone
You have my heart U of G
Let’s battle this storm together
