What would it take?


People infuriate me sometimes. Usually, I can just let people be who they are even when I disagree with their actions. I believe everyone has a right to be who they want to be. But, I get angry sometimes. It's usually when someone I love is hurt by the purposeful actions of someone else. Hurtful people make me sad- sad and even angry.
It's so very hard to understand.

My heart is breaking right now.  I wonder what it would take for a change to occur. I'm starting to believe that this pattern isn't going to change. Maybe I am next in line. I wonder if I am strong enough to bear the burden. I pray that the low that my loved ones are feeling isn't as low as is seems. They are so down, I am not sure they can fall anymore.
 

"Change" by Tracy Chapman
If you knew that you would die today
If you saw the face of God and Love
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you knew that love can break your heart
When you're down so low you cannot fall
Would you change?
Would you change?

How bad how good does it need to get?
How many losses how much regret?
What chain reaction
What cause and effect
Makes you turn around
Makes you try to explain
Makes you forgive and forget
Makes you change
Makes you change

If you knew that you would be alone
Knowing right being wrong
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you knew that you would find a truth
That brings a pain that can't be soothed
Would you change?
Would you change?

How bad how good does it need to get?
How many losses how much regret?
What chain reaction
What cause and effect
Makes you turn around
Makes you try to explain
Makes you forgive and forget
Makes you change
Makes you change

Are you so upright you can't be bent
if it comes to blows
Are you so sure you won't be crawling
If not for the good why risk falling
Why risk falling

If everything you think you know
Makes your life unbearable
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you'd broken every rule and vow
And hard times come to bring you down
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you knew that you would die today
If you saw the face of God and Love
Would you change?
Would you change?
