Like the Rest of Us

Like the Rest of Us

A Poem by Yemariam Markos

When you are unable to move
Move past the hurt
Move past the hatred
Move past the past... 
The feeling of being constantly stuck
And you try everything possible 
To get there.

But it's like that feeling of being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Maybe... that's because we are
Cornered.

They say "try to think warmer"
But they don't understand
How we feel when we try to live in the sunshine
Because it's so... cold
Constant blows of hostility making it easy to forget

Forget the sun is actually there
Trying to hold it together
Just like the rest of us.

This one speaks to many of us on a very deep level. It's hard to bless all when you're hurting. Very thoughtful piece of work.
