Awareness

Everybody vents
About everyone they know.
Unless they’re a monk,

Under silent vows.
There’s no use in denying
an unspoken truth.

Unspoken? A fact.
We’re only human after all,
a work in progress.

Occasionally
words surface, come up for air
question behavior.

Grievances are aired.
Minds open, change perspective.
Suddenly one sees.

The human heart aware,
embraces reality,
undeniably

accepting their need
for conscious self improvement.
One day at a time.
