Life is Full of Contradictions

I wonder what it's like
    to have to lie
          and say you're alright
to have a voice
      but never be heard
to be loved, but still hurt
to live in a house
      but never feel at home
to be alive, wishing you were never born
to have aspirations that you can never achieve
to be called a traitor and sinner
      because of your beliefs

      I hope I can learn to empathize
even if I had never walked in your shoes;
I extend my compassion and love to you
