This is a poem I wrote today about perspective and understanding my own suffering and the suffering of others. This poem is about how my mind can spill so much negativity if I let it and how that can take over my entire day, my entire mind if I let it. This poem is about how we share so much with others and that kind of trust and love can help us so much, but also that weight can be taken off our shoulders when we can confide to people.
Today I felt so down, because all I could think about was how heartbroken I am. Then a dear person I look up to shared something so immensely heavy with me and after her words were done, all I could do was embrace her and be there for her. And I thank her because she reminded me that I'm not alone, and my suffering is not alone. It made me look outside of myself once again and really opened me up and set my heart free.
I am so small in this world and when I start to see with this open heart, it lessens my suffering and I can begin to lessen the suffering of others around me.
