The Party

I was so excited to bring you closer into my life,

Then I saw your heart,

I heard your voice...

I felt your spirit.

I knew instantly that you could never be welcomed there.

You carry such fear, anger and hate on anything different than you.

You appeared so warm and welcoming but you are so cold.

I understood that sending you an invitation to my life would be nothing but an opportunity,

For you to destroy me and make me less of a person.

While we are out living our lives and fighting to be in a place where we belong and can be free, let us not forget the ones, that lives in our spaces that could use our love, our ears and voices. People need you and they do not know how to express that. People need your patience, love, understanding and your touch of reassurance. They need your resilience and radiance, and light. That little presence that you can provide for someone can save their life.
