"Defend The Difference"

 

As the light comes to pass...

Over our shoulders...

Another day done...

So many unsteady moments can hold us still

The wind of change comes

Through realizations made

Its the silent aching...

Now breaking the heart

Deep emotions flow

And creep through the senses

As the bittersweet leaks out from the corners of the eyes

How have we come to this place?

Its never truly known...

Words spoken

Actions hidden

A balance over thrown

With nothing corrected...

Some explanations are beyond reason

Convictions blind the eye

To wrong faults given

When the will and strength of one

Reminds another of their weakness

Who is left to defend the difference?

If hurting another

Doesn't hurt you...

Then where has the compassion gone?

Its not that we do not care

But perhaps, we have lost the hope

The past has no return...

Decisions are strengths in forward motion

And when peace comes after those things lost...

Then the true reality comes to this...

Do you adjust your life to mourn the absence?

Or do you sacrifice yourself continually to always be less...

To accommodate the disrespect...
