Succumb To Nothingness

Succumb to nothingness
Drop into the abyss
Slender is the chance
I will survive all this.

Tolerance doesn’t know
Where to step in
Or even if
It still exists.

My sadness knows all this
Crying out the name
The name of one
Who can change, change this.

Courage To Understand

Courage
to understand.

Strength
to get it done.

Tolerance
to know
not everyone
is the same one.

Kindness
to guide
yourself and
those lost.

Awareness
to know when
and what.

Yourself

That’s all
it costs.
