This is a poem I wrote today because of how I am feeling
AND WHO ARE YOU
And who are you to challenge me
Do not respond if you dont agree
I wish not to dwell with idiots or fools
So know your place and know the rules
I have studied hard to be this wise
And now the ignorant I despise
Those I deem less learned than myself
I cut down with expert stealth
I took a cause that was not mine
And wasted on it years of time
But though I left its rigid ways
The mindset, that was mine, still stays
In black and white I like to see
No grey areas please for me
Because I'm right and you are wrong
Voice your opinion and my silence will be strong
And so the writer of this poem asks
Please, occasionally stop with your strong views, thoughts and borrowed lines and look inside yourself; deep within your fragile human frame. Do you see what you are and what you do, time and time again? Do you know why sometimes you feel pain and what it is trying desperately to tell you? Do you ever consider the other person and all that makes them what they are? Are you familiar with humility, compassion and not always having to be right? I hope you do, and in doing so, sleep well tonight.
