We must try to constantly
be
and explain
being
without knowing why
we are
And we must constantly
uphold
our similar beings
while knowing why
upholding
falls on we
we, with strained limbs
we, with heavy hearts
we, with deep memories
we, with eyes looking in from the outside
we, with rooms away from the outside
we, with strength and love and hope
we, with worlds existing
where we are who we are
and where
we are explaining who we are
and where
we say nothing because of who we are
constantly
June,
for them,
comes.
But,
June,
for we,
never goes.

Some day, people will learn to mind their own business, let other folks be. But someday is a far way off. Lovely way to describe the tensions and hostilities of life.
