So much of it
I have to stop
Take a conscious breath
I can't make it past my throat
Empathy consumes me
I sit still. Across from
Person after person after person
I see the glistening tears well up
Sad, sad eyes - pain filled lives
Because our species is
So completely fucked up
Enslaved by addiction
Victimizing our children
Perpetuating The Cycle
Our trauma unites us
It's so fucking universal
I see it on everyone's face
Part of what makes us One
I want to love it right out of you
I want to let you do the same for me
Will we ever be safe enough?
I believe in Healing.
Not as some miracle.
It's dirty work
So let's dig in
Start shoveling that shit
It's got no place cluttering up
Our souls
