This Random Life

Every life is unique, every life is weary, loving, hard, joyful...random. Every life matters, counts, makes someone smile and laugh. Every life can make someone hurt and angry.
This random life is yours to make of it as you will while you are here. Will you seek people out to lift them up or to find a fault? Will you seek someone in love and understanding?
Words of Thorns
As the thorns
Pierce the skin
So your words
Pierce my heart
I can say they don't hurt
I can say they don't matter
The soul seeping
Through the scars
Says otherwise
