sometime
we fall short
of being better people
when we won’t
recognize a symptom
a sorrow
a struggle
our pride fights back
when we should
come to the table
to surrender
disarm our demons
and be still
even though pain
tortures our conscience
tears at our heart
our incomprehension
pushes us toward
escalation
and deeper wounds
making more scars
when we could begin
to help
to heal…
