Family and community
I remember having those
People those characters
All around me the dynamic
Of what’s happening now
Eventually as I got older
I felt more susceptible to
Pain to emotional agitation
More awareness in general
Tripping over my self-care
I found myself holding
Onto peace with a glimpse
Of eternal emptiness
However painless there are
Still moments to climb over
There are still many rivers
Full of feelings of which
To coast or float and
Of these parallel worlds
The question rises up
With sincere curiosity
Are we to protect ourselves
From the pain of coexistence
Or rather bathe in the delight
Of it’s unpredictable nature
To succumb to inevitable hurt
