So Sad

​I’m sad and I’m mad and beside myself, if only I could, get beside where I am.
If only I could be another of me, the same looking though, but lots nicer.
 
But I’m stuck with myself, helpless to change those things done in my name.
I think I am stuck with my feelings the most, it’s just so darn hard they remain.
 
In it together like covid I thought, to be human has so many ifs, it’s the pits.
If we only did this or not that, would it help, would I get over it quicker!
 
Then a hummingbird sat on my shoulder and whispered, the words that I needed to hear.
 
“Be aware, pay attention, take care and love often, we’re all one, do believe, it is true.
Love often all around, no matter the who, or the others not quite like you.
Hearts and minds all together, so connected, can’t stop it, you know like that blasted old weather.”
 
I’ll just do it, and learn, it is never too late, this planet can handle the love, thanks little bird.
When hearts beat as one, you feel it inside, fills up the whole globe with sweet pride.
And the sadness, the madness, the hurt, take my word, will hopefully just slip on by..
