Justified

 

Justified
By your own
Perception of reality

You sit high

Distorting truth
to pacify
emptiness

Abusing faith
to justify
prejudice

Coercing life
to appear
harmonious

But
I embrace
all the mess
life brings me

Enduring
authentic pain
of abandonment

Savoring
each opportunity
to love

Deciding
that change
allows me to grow

In harmony
each moment
takes its place

Creating
my tapestry
of gratitude
