Look Away
April 21, 2016
People look away
it is easier to find fault in me
than to hold him accountable.
His position wins for him respect
despite his actions of disrespect.
He is assumed to be:
blameless, holy, good;
compassionate, caring, together;
but he is also human.
In his humanity is the capacity
to do harm, to hurt others.
And he has hurt me.
I do not blame him
though he is responsible.
I offer forgiveness instead,
because that's who I am.
