Hello Poetteers, Original Poem Always when I talk with you, I'm afraid to say everything because I think you might not understand it all because of the somewhat different beliefs we have. Yet you ask questions to help me. And I'm glad you do. We are, together breaking down another wall of isolation. Response Poem I hold back afraid to say anything worried you might not understand because of the different beliefs we have; you say something that contradicts my beliefs and I shrink back wishing someone else was in place where I didn’t have to explain the cultural expectations before expressing how I feel You are willing to ask questions and learn it feels tiring like there’s no space for me. Behind the Poem I enjoy sharing my beliefs and values. Sometimes I get tired of having to explain my religious beliefs and cultural values, especially before pouring out my emotions. I wish people were more aware and understanding of different cultures and religions. That right there is why...
Let your heart heal.
