So many viewpoints

To walk in another’s shoes

finding compassion, instead of faults

Disappointments foster hurt

unmet expectations create anger

Yet we forget pain

And then we create DRAMA

that would otherwise have gone unnoticed 

WE FEED THE FIRE when

 we truly want to smother the pain

Although our freedom seems

more painful at times

In the end, the ONLY answer

to each issue is your

inner faith, always
