Pushing At Darkness

In the shadows looking for light

because I feel it is useless to fight

I am sleepless night after night

I worry for myself and my daughter

That we are sheep in society’s slaughter.

I choose to live my life like no rules harm me.

I find it easier to be kind, to disarm.

To choose peace, I will smirk at societal alarm

Hope blooms best in darkness.

Love looms where you least expect it

We can assume kindness going forward.

I choose to send words of love skyward.

Favor propels luck and light onward.

Braver the people become as we march.
