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. - S.I. Huffman |
