I was told
To observe
Not to intervene
To listen
Not to be vocal
To tolerate
Not to offend
I was told
What is holy?
What is unholy?
To seek light in the dark
And to stay rooted
I was told
To be kind next to
My space
My home
My nation
And practice act of forgiveness
I was told
When mind thinks wrong
Beware of self
I was told
All the above
And many more
Something wrong!
Never did they tell
How long?
I have to stay numb
Or hold the belief
That shadow is me
Tell me
