#a person messaged me to apologise about a corona-related jibe

[spikybanana]

may that one day we will live

somewhere we won't be afraid

somewhere we won't be surprised

by every little kindness

-

may that one day we will learn

to let hate slide off our backs

to let kindness linger longer

before the warmth fades away

-

you didn't have to hurt me

now I'll be cold forever

how long till I trust again

how long till I love again

-

long after sunset, I light the fire in hope that

by morning, the glowing embers might reach my soul

#my writing #poem #poetry #a person messaged me to apologise about a corona-related jibe #and I was so surprised why did I have to be so surprised #also thank you for 200 followers I'm not sure what that means or what I should do #but thanks? #welcome?
