Really all anyone wants is to belong.
To be where they are and feel safe.
Know that if a moment arises they are among friends.
To be loved and cared for
despite themselves.
Thats all, just to belong.
Why is it so hard to just bring people in
and let them be?
Where do the toxic people come from?
Why do some have to be so hurtful,
finding some power in keeping another down?
They feel unloved, uncertain of their place in the world,
so they fight to belong,
drowning others that might take their place.
They are not the bombast, but the silent predator.
Be that heart that opens
to bring in the sad, the lost, the happy and proud,
and give them your place at the table.
You will not lose your place
but instead beholden others to your keeping it.
All anyone needs really,
is to be loved.
