I remember the first time
I realized that pain
Was a feeling
That others felt
And my heart swelled
The birth of my compassion
I remember the time
I realized that color
Was a thing we graded
Other people on
My heart broke
Knowing we were all the same
And I began a journey
Of living with the pain
Knowing we separate
But we are not seperate
Trying to rationalize
How we hurt each other
I remember the first time
I questioned war
These people we kill
Are people like ourselves
And my heart broke
Knowing it aint justified
I remember the first time
I questioned my diet
These things that I kill
Feel hurt and pain
And my heart broke
Knowing we suffer the same
One more step
On a journey
Of living with the pain
Knowing we separate
Trying to rationalize how we hurt the things around us
How we grade suffering
On a scale of likeness
And stop our humanity
Where we feel it's appropriate
But the markers shift
And its totally fucking relative
So I decided to live
In a way that sees pain
As something that
We all can feel
And accept difference
As a known quantity
And know that difference
Doesn't erase ability
To feel hurt
Due to survive
And accept all living beings
As living beings
That want to thrive
That want to live
That deserve respect
That want to grow
That deserve to be treated
Like we treat ourselves
