Understanding

Today I saw something I used to think I hated

Instead of rage I felt understanding

A sense of empathy flooded me

Tears filled my eyes

A hole was dug in my heart where the hate used to fill

Empathy replaced it

I understand now

The freedom needed by those we love

Taking a second look at something I hate made me wonder

Why do others feel the opposite?

So I decided not to push away the possible things I could love

I'll take a second look with eyes anew

Opinions will form to be mine from now on

Yet I will see everything from all sides

If all of us could accomplish this feeling 

I wonder what would happen..

Until then I must rely on the little things

The little things that engrave these feelings into the soul
