Compassion

I look inside myself
my walls
my lungs
my heart
 
The reason why I am contained- also, why I am free
Why I am breathing; the poetic justice I inhale and the toxicity I release
My love for others, for the world, for me
 
Sometimes the only recognizable trait of a persons character comes from the outside
The physical.
Am I ugly? Am I beautiful?
 
Those however, are not important.
To give love is the greatest sacrifice
To see the world in a light that defies the law of normality
To recognize beauty on the inside
 
I look inside myself.
my walls
my lungs
my heart
 
I recommend you do the same.
