Love and Not Fear

I look at everything in life
That brings me here
And I wonder what I’ll become
I walk the streets at night
Come home to an empty place
My little space I watch the news
And all the ugly things
I cry out and I beg
For something to find me here
Something to erase my fear
I need something
Something to find me here
I need love and not fear
I need something
Something to find me here
I need love and not fear
Desensitized
I realized I could not feel
What was real
What was wrong
A voyeur in someone’s pain and to remain
Unchanged
Seems so unreal
Round, round I go
Where I stop I don’t know
All the horrors
All the injustice
I can’t breathe
Between the lines
Of power, greed, hateful men
I want something more than me
More than this tragic history
To be forgotten and gone
