Nothing else exists when
We go where we go,
You and I.
Nothing else exists when
We go where we go,
You and I.
Do not take lightly the pain
Of another because they do not hurt like you,
(measuring with your eyes
that which cannot be poured into a cup)
Honor another’s soul (and your own)
And know that pain is pain;
yet again relative only to each persons heart and soul
experience.
We need to sit and listen more
Be gentle
Be love
Laugh
And validate
Look each other in the eyes
And say (to yourself as well)
“I know you exist.
I see you,
I feel you.
You are worthy
And you are enough.”
But
The little girl
Badly beaten and bruised,
Frightened and confused,
Hides in the closet
Amongst
The boxes and shoes
And
Holds her breath,
Holds herself as still as a mouse,
Because if she does not breathe
She does not
Exist.
