I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM…



Are you sad;



Are you troubled;



Are you anxious;



Are you nervous;



Are you overwhelmed;



Are you outright scared?



I know where you are coming from!!!



Have you been abused;



Assaulted and raped;



Have you lost a child;



Maybe even more than one;



And a love, you thought was your life?



I know where you are coming from!!!



Were you mocked;



You were so fat; 



Were that skinny;



Looked like a full misery;



You felt despised and despicable;



Tried to belong to no avail;



I know where you are coming from!!!



Have you lost your faith;



Lost your mind or so it seemed;



Thought suicide was your fate;



Just going on with the motions;



Caring less about basic notions;



I know where you are coming from!!!



Have you hung out with the bad boys;



Appeared so weird yet felt safe;



Have you lost it all;



In your flight to freedom;



Abandoning it all to the universe;



Before the enlightenment visited?



I know where you are coming from!!!



Because I do know where you are coming from;



Because I have loved and lost and buried;



Because I have been abused and raped and rescued;



Because I have fought and fled and found;



I know where you are coming from!!!
