And I Weep

Body shaking,
Tears rolling down my olive cheeks.
Soul clenching,
Stomach turning.

That which grace my ears,
That which my eyes see,
Leave me heartbroken,
Soul shattered.

Why is our would filled with the deepest hate,
The deepest fear of maybe someday trying to understand what is different?

Words,
Slurs,
And fists pounding on those that already hurt.
Why?

Is it because you are hurt too?

So instead of raging,
And trying to rearrange what we cannot change,
Why not try to accept?
To love?
To simply honor...

Let go.
But for tonight, and who knows how long...
I weep.
