find it within
the ability
to see beyond
atrocities experienced
for they can hold
the mind
into a depressing realm
that hinders
functioning completely
for living with
the learned triage
in extreme conditions
doesn’t apply
to everyday conversation
and person to person interactions
for once left
difficult circumstances
the average man on the street
gives an element
of vulnerability
to those around
who want to
have that friendly
demeanor allowing
relationships to develop
outside of
being an acquaintance
