There are doors
that allow you
to open partially
with chains as locks
that stop the door
from opening entirely
allowing a peek
yet never a stay
because some doors
don’t allow access
because allowing anybody in
everybody in
it’d get overcrowded.
The same as a mind
if it remembered everything
and allowed each word
each voice
each face
to have a home within
it would swell
because it can only retain
bits of information
not all of it
not every bit of it
because a mind
it crackles
it wrinkles
it grows
and it looses
it’s elasticity.
It happens to all minds
and rather than be aggressive
it’s best
to remember tolerance
is meant for all minds.
All doors
weather they’re open widely
or just enough for a peak
the perception of kindness
is only that an image
and the action of respect
is meant for everyone
and anyone
even those you’ve chosen to hate
otherwise how can you expect
what you’ll never give?
Thanks for reading.
