Accusations: You are too emotional, too kind.
When someone accuses me of being too emotional or too kind, I smile inside.
Yes, I confess I feel. When I die, these feelings will disappear.
I chose to see suffering, understand, and engage with sadness, wonder, pain, laughter, and confusion.
How can I ignore the tears of another, the disappointment visible to those who suffer?
How can I agree with divisions which result in hate and ultimate erasure?
My entire body absorbs and responds. To ignore is to die prematurely for empathy allows for compassion and leads to its partner passion.
Caring is not a fault, nor are acts of kindness.
My intelligence analyzes, my heart sees within and beyond to
The core of what matters.
I no longer suffer from the negative claims of others that I feel too much.
I chose to be whole, with the messiness of living and loving.
