Know my mind
Know I think too much
-dwell too much on
possibilities and dreams.
know I struggle - like you
to make sense of a world that's
chaotic
know I wonder what
it means
and if it truly is ever
meant to cease

Know sometimes I don't think
I can take it all in
because there is too much
pain in watching what we do
to each other
and other living things.
Know I cry, like
a baby, one who is 
naive yet aware
I should not be.
I mourn for those I
have never met and grieve
for that which I do not
understand
Know I scream
at the cruelties to
animals and children though
it does not accomplish much
I think God just needs
to voice that opinion
through me.

Know I sigh at
the ignorance of treating
others differently, whatever the
reason may be
know I do so because I
am weary and long
for us to see each other as unique
not "freaks, niggers, crackers, spics, chinks, zealots,
bitches, hoes, and (enter your choice here)."
Know I do believe in a higher
power that probably weeps more tears
than oceans can hold for reasons
we should be glad we can't
comprehend

Know my heart is touched and
my mind is overwhelmed.
I am full of life
because all these things have taught
me pain, suffering, sadness, depression,
and self-destruction.
Know I am more appreciative of what
I have because I have learned
these things.
Without them, I could not
see beauty, kindness, love,
generosity, grace, mercy, happiness,
and peace. Because of this I am whole.

Know life must be embraced in all its facets,
yet not all accepted,
in order to live.
