Moments gather...
Through reflection there is realization...
Amongst the lost, a decision is found...
Who's choice is it?
When the body has been beaten...
And emotions have carved scars deep...
Is it you?
Or is it them?
Is there acknowledgment for your state of being?
Will understanding be given, instead of reaction?
Maybe offer compassion before careless comparisons
Negativity before positivity only adds to the heaviness trying to be shed
Maybe...
Do not wonder the reason for their reaction
Maybe...
Attempt to comprehend why...
Lines become drawn for a reason
Trespass signs are hung before boundaries are ever crossed
Many of us know our pain...
We do not need it recited back to us
We all try...
Some more than others...
And some days better than the next...
It's okay to forget the confusion
Stop counting what may or may not be owed
There should be no rights given to thieves who steal your comfort
As they impose restrictions upon their unconditional love
Refuse to pay the debt...
To give the allowance by letting them live rent free within your mind
Because anger will always be the response
When your peace is chosen over their chaos
And distance is made between the connection
Over their mounting disrespect...
Yesterday is laid to rest
Tomorrow, another day
To give worth and effort in trying
Because today, belongs to you.
