On how we act the part

how soon we forget the struggle of someone else
wrapped up in our own insecurities and strengths
the blinders are on oblivious with good intent
we hurt and misunderstand people around us
being a person is so much better then being male
to drop that role tradition
rally our collective weakness together
as community
or two or
even singular
to look out
and just see people
their struggle and say
may i?
or
i am here
or a nod of the head
will save us
don't you think?

  1. It will save us! Fuck you are so right... so simple, yet we blow it, or rather I should say, I blow it almost daily! LOL! One foot in front of the other.

  3. we are all so incredibly complicated. it's a wonder we don't detonate ourselves, a series of self explosions over the course of any day. volatile, we are, and so we always have hands to hold, words to explain, and tomorrow so that we might try again.

    love you so
