I know what it’s like to walk a hundred miles with a thousand pounds and a million questions .
I know what it’s like to be inconvenienced and then convene in the wake of waiting.
I know what it’s like to harbor unjust hatred and misplace faith upon the mantel of an unsure deity.
I know what it’s like to speak in sincerity to only then be gazed upon warily.
I know what it’s like to listen to anothers experience and pass judgement.
I know what it’s like to listen to anothers judgement and pass on experiences.
I know what it’s like to want to die, to only be reborn.
