If I Can...



I rise above the vipers tongue
To try to comprehend the spite
It only adds to the confusion
While the battle rages on
Wondering how one can exist
With a heart so full of venom
Surely such toxic animosity
Can only do you harm

No-one can claim perfection
Nor demand it in our sights
Recognising pain in others
Can open doors to worlds unseen
So I will see the beauty in you
While you hate me with your eyes
And hope you find your peace without
Taking pieces of me

This was a very strong and great poem!!!
This part was amazing!!!

No-one can claim perfection
Nor demand it in our sights
Recognising pain in others
Can open doors to worlds unseen
So I will see the beauty in you
