Mind Reading

When a boy grows into a man

And a girl into a woman

Never assume that their mind matches their body.

The number of consequences I've had to pay

When I made an ass out of you and me, by

Anchoring my thoughts based on appearance are countless.

Never again will I want much more

Than to understand others and to be understood

Winning doesn't need to mean conflict

And losing doesn't need to be the end.

Necessary, it is to cherish life and embrace differences.

Those who ignore this shall live a life chasing wants, like an addict.
