Poetry For Everyday People
Wild Flowers
Isn't amazing
the guilt and shame
we feel, endure, for
being who we are, feeling
what we feel, needing what
we need, all kept inside us,
can anybody on earth
just accept us for who
we are? not for a short
period of time, but forever,
love us without trying to
change us, conform us, fence us in,
can humanity let be without
judgment? can we be in love
without judging each other?
can we embrace tattoos, piercing, cultures,
music, skin color, purple hair, individuality,
can we be turned on by ears, backs, brains, hands,
ankles, feet, noses,
without drama, without fingers flying, ready
to judge, always ready to judge,
a lack of understanding doesn't make anything
wrong, just means better let be, a lot of things
are beyond us in this world, this life,
and judging each other
is beyond me.
