community care

LISTEN

pay attention to what i have to share

i keep being handed

problems no one has yet had to bear

listen

you believe you can afford not to care

because you think that you’re safe

or that you’re somehow prepared

NO, i’m telling you, listen

because i too was once there

then i learned thru gods timing

of a sadness to which nothing compares

that we need each other

that pain needs to be shared

i’m begging you listen,

when it happens don’t just stop and stare

it’s coming for all of us

and i’ve met it so

you can call me when it’s there.
