Kindness
The things I heard them say
hurt
and I would go upstairs
and sit and be
quiet.
The things I didn't hear them say
hurt even more than I can
say
- so much that I have to
go out and be
among other people who
have lives and hurt
as much as I do
or more, but
don't know it.
But some do
- and it is for you I write
there is no karmic re-alignment
no vengeance
no schadenfreude
and all you need to do
is be your loving
Self
and be kind to someone
you don't know because
that doesn't hurt.
