FEAR
Fear.
Is like a shadow...
That creeps it's way...
Over your shoulder...
Dare you turn around,
and see what's behind you?
Or should you scream,
and run as fast as you can?
Fear.
It comes from what is unknown.
What is uncertain,
and what we don't understand.
Half the time we wonder
What we got so worked up about...
UNDERSTANDING
Many of us
Do not understand
Simply because
We don't have the willingness.
Why one person
does it differently
And to you it seems wrong
But it's all they know just the same.
Is there a wrong way
to dress, to sing, to laugh?
Or to even look at something?
Understanding comes when
We embrace the differences
After all...
We breathe the same air, look at the same sky....
And we even smile the same.

Beyond our
Learning,
Under
Everyone
Stands,
Keep
Yearning...
If
Someday
Everyone
Embraces...
Yes
Of course, we must
Understand all
Maybe
Everyone will someday...
Eternity
Must I
Perpetual
Torture
You give me...
Hopeless
Emaciated
Aching for you
Release me from
Tantalizing pain...
Beyond all suffering
Running away
Oblivious understanding
Kept inside
Everything I
Needed to lose...
Save me
Of this madness I must be free
Understand the words I speak
Let me go...
