Heal, Honey
By Moe’na Canada
Authenticity, an extinct characteristic amongst individuals
who align their intentions and actions
with socially acceptable Immorality.
Individuals influenced by the culture of media,
distorted and feigned.
When held accountable,
maybe a taste of their reality
dances at the tip of
their tongue; or either
an abundance of animosity.
Empathetic I am,
to those who are perceived as different.
Those who pull passion from their heart
when they speak; knowing probability
of collective taunting and
purposeful misunderstanding.
A daunting persona,
despite horrific experiences
with life or a declining self-esteem,
is inhumane.
Temporary validation
from like-minded people
at the cost of another's mental well-being
is heartless.
You cannot ward off your demons
by becoming someone else’s.
Heal, honey.
