Stay human

How hard—and yet how possible—it is
to be just in a world that calls you to injustice,
to remain kind and whole in a society
that pressures you to become cruel.

How sweet it is
to accept your wounds
yet never inflict one.

How beautiful it is
to offer your hands in help
even when no one reaches for yours.

Be yourself among all the darkness—
be good.
You are human.
Stay human.
