How do you understand me?
With what eyes do you see my face?
I am just another human being in this world, 
just like you.

How do you choose to look at my actions and decide what you want to think of me?

Do you see me in the problems of your past?
Does my presence today haunt you still?

I am just another person. 

I do not know the way to tear the sorrow from your heart. 
I do not have the answers you seek. 
I do not think you are broken beyond repair. 

Let’s take some time to know ourselves and each other,
today and tomorrow. 
Imagine what a different world we could wake up to,
where assumptions no longer rule our hearts.
