Devil Walking... close bye..

Everybody hurts sometimes,

reminds me of the Johnny Cash song

called hurt.

That is haunting, raw and so sad.

As it's so true. We all hurt sometimes.

Even the people, who don't speak out

loud, or ever says a word to anyone.

They just keep it locked up, deep way inside.

Not like me who speaks out.

We all hurt.

It's the ones. Who says nothing.

And keeps it hidden from sight.

You need to protect and watch out for too.

More so.

Compassion, love, and caring hearts are needed.

More than wars, hatred and greed. And selfishness

of humans.

We need to look out for each other.

Even ones who are not blood-related to you.

As sometimes.  We are not all lucky to be born

to people who actually do care at all.

Sometimes they make your life hell.

And sometimes the ones who are not related

to you mean more to you than anyone else.

Simply because they cared and loved you.

And looked out for you more so.

Than your supposedly

blood-related lot did for you. That actually kick you out

onto the street. Or turned their back on you.

So don't always think blood-related folk care. They don't

sometimes they are the devil walking close bye.

Even though we might love them deeply. But they also hurt

us to the core.

great work, dawn.
"Sometimes they make your life hell.
And sometimes the ones who are not related
to you mean more to you than anyone else."
is an interesting verse.

I agree, biology is what makes us, not what makes us who we are. and it sure as hell doesn't define what we mean to each other.

one thing, though, that was, if memory serves, a johnny cash cover. the song, i believe, was nine inch nails.

")

love you.
keep up the great work.

Hi Wesley, Thanks for taking the time and trouble to tell me your thoughts. Exactly, Wesley, they make us, but they don’t define us ... well said Wesley. Hugs. Dawn.

I agree the most people that you love make you feel worse at times.
I have some family like this and it hurts.
Nicely expressed.
