life is too short to cower beneath your skin

you wanna change the world?
take off your mask.
let go of the facade
break through the stone that surrounds your soul
and be free.
Don’t care what others think…
LOVE
be LOVE
show LOVE
live LOVE
even to those who deserve hate.. show LOVE
when tears stream out of swollen eyes
turn a cheek and offer LOVE
in unexpected moments don’t cower
be LOVE
take a hand that may have germs all over is and
tuck it inside your own
with no intention other than to hold it
listen not just hear
be willing to be an answer
not a picketer
be your own billboard
for truth
and authenticity
wanna change the world?
start by recklessly abandoning your ideal of who you THINK you are
and BE
LOVE.
