A Line Crossed

January 31, 1992

cold and tired I rise

I must face a new day

watch the people of my surroundings

try to understand them

barely awake I set out

not enough sleep

walking quickly

trying to attain a sensation of reality

purpose, adream on my feet

I walk the halls of a large building

ignoring their complaints –

oh so too different

not like us, the constant refrain

and so they hate me

could the issue be simple color

strained in shades of gray

I watch my back

so none may put the knife in

careful to maintain inoffensive stance

but difference is topical

too much for them to take

my world a nightmare

turning around in this bad dream

could any dream appear so real

could any cold soul really hate so much

as these cold souls seem to

ah, but the difference surpasses skin

resolution dim, you recognized from a distance

si, easy to strike out

Compassion

January 31, 1992

all I ever wanted

all I ever want

is to make you feel better

show you you are beautiful

of body and mind

show you no one can take
