Where I see Frustration and Sorrow;
There once was Simplicity and Joy.
Where I see Confusion and Weakness;
There once was Knowledge and Strength.
Where I see Doubt and Despair;
There once was Courage and Hope.
Where I see Aggravation and Fatigue;
There once was Compassion and Vitality.
Where I see Indecision and Heartache;
There once was Direction and Ease.
Where you see Agitation and Intolerance;
There is always Patience and Understanding.
Where you see Scorn and Rejection;
There is always Respect and Love.

I really like this one. I think everyone can find some level of understanding with it.

Know yourself before you try to know someone else.

Kelly,

You've used some powerful words to describe what is obviously a painful occurrence. I like how you made this descript without being all too descriptive. It allows the reader to attribute the actions to their own cause. Universally personal, as it were. Very good work.
