Nobody sees the battles we face

In our hearts;

In our minds;

In these frail mortal shells

Of flesh and blood.

Everyone sees the covers we place

In our homes;

In our work;

As we play normal selves

Of happy cheer.

Be wary of the judgements we make

In assumption;

In fast haste;

In these moments of shared

Space with someone.

Kindness in all the actions we take

Warm our hearts;

Calm our minds;

And remember well all

Are flesh and blood.
