© Your Pain Is Not My Patchwork Quilt



Never
Have I understood
The thoughts, the actions, or
The reasons it takes to hurt another
My mind does not function that way
And it shocks me to see/hear it from others

Because I do not cow to
a                           My soul and

Defending
The underdog
As well as standing up
To the bully and fighting back
Is my forte and it make my hair
