Change of Heart

They want to glue me to their view;

paste me as cooperative so there

won’t be any discord from different.

My eyes once held the glint of absolutes.

I recognize the self-righteous stare and

voices echoing in scriptured tongues.

Life has cut the artery of my judgment

and I bleed grief from my spirit

at the depths of my rejection.

I can’t choose another’s path so I won’t

surrender my shoes to the footfalls of another.

The greatest commandment is to love.

I struggle…I’m incomplete…I am learning.
