Life is
Not fair
At times
Whether
It’s a bad call
In a sporting event
Where it seems
This team
Gets breaks
More than others
Or marginalized people
Have to fight battles
For centuries
Because it’s de rigeur
I’m learning
That some fights
Aren’t mine
And I accept
Again what
I can’t understand
Because
Bitterness
Jealousy
And anger
Emotions
I can’t afford
To keep
Any longer
If my desire
Is to live
Peacefully with self
Do I want fame
Fortune
Or a picture perfect
Relationship
For the world’s
Consumption
God is having
A field day
Breaking down
The walls
While I’d like
This process
To be quick and timely
It is not
Deliberately slow
Feeling every crack
And break
With an archer’s
Accuracy and precision
Surrender
It always
Leaves me
Tongue tied
How you teach me
In different ways
The answer
Remains the same
Love yourself and one another
Powerful words beautifully written, and the last line is my favorite.
