They say
Suffering brings compassion
And I say
That’s
*******
Just because I have
Suffered
Does not mean I am kind
And just because I am
Kind
Does not mean I have suffered
Compassion
Is when you say
“No one should suffer”
Not even me.

I drown myself in starsong
My head in galaxies
Miles away from earth

To flee from conflict
Hiding from war
Is not healthy, I know
But
It was beaten into my soul

So now I hide
In-between nebulas
Let the beauty cleanse my fear
May I find the strength to fight
