Promises

Dear friends,
I promise to listen 
Even when I disagree.

Dear parents,
I promise to never forget 
What you have given me.

Dear siblings,
I promise to love you 
And always forgive.

Dear animals,
I promise to try to undo the damage 
That humans have done. 

Dear sickness,
I promise to fight for your victims 
And never give in to your cruelty.

Dear power,
I promise to never let you 
Get the best of me.

Dear poets,
I promise to honor your words 
And your opinions.

Dear life,
I promise to change  the world 
With kindness and wisdom.

Dear world,
I promise to be me.

    you are not you. 

    you are what i think
    alas i refuse to admit i am wrong.
    what can i say?
    i love this version of you 
    he is kind and sweet and loving 
    so very beautiful.
  • Slippery slope

    The way is harsh
    The light is dim
    And we forget to celebrate love
    Instead condemning faultless faults and forged sins
    We sit in silence
    Festering in our lack of empathy 
    Or we stand and scream because still we are not heard
