What does living do

losspoliticsloveidentity

What does living do

But confuse

The wisdom of children

When answers

Are as simple

As the questions asked

Everybody needs to

Feel love

To know the truth

So many people

Forget how easily

It can be found

When the blinds are drawn

On the world

What keeps you in

Will keep love out

Hiding from the darkness

Is a double bind

As the feeling

Of safety

Is bound in a belief that

We are free

To choose

When the truth

Of love

Is only found

In the pain

We can withstand

In the loss of

Freedom’s gain.
