Bleeding pains
Burdened hearts
We don’t always get what we want,
Should we deprive others of their joy?
Broken bonds,
Open wounds,
A world full of broken people.
How do we heal?
If we could laugh our hardest.
Cry when we ought to.
Say exactly how we feel,
Not act like we have everything figured out.
Ask for help when we need it.
But hurt people, hurt people.
Can we be better?
Better beings.
Humans, not just beings.
I love you truly,
Not because of but in spite of.
No conditions, only decisions.
Lean on me, strong or not.
Stronger together,
One for all and all for one.
