It seems silly really, but I'm crying tonight. Shedding tears I didn't know I had. My life has not been easy, but I know it has by no means been hard. I heard a theory about that once... maybe its true. Someone once told me I had a gift, that I was blessed to bring comfort to others and that I had to endure pain to be able to see it and release it in them. They told me that with this gift came others. That because I know pain I can see it... I can hear what causes strife in those around me. Clairvoyance, they called it. And I can. I can look at a person, talk to them, and see what sorrows them. I can see what brings them joy and what hardships they have endured.
I'm not so sure it is a gift, sometimes I believe it a curse. Tonight I sit, thinking of my own path, and my own future and I am flooded with these images I have seen. Hurts done to others... and I cry.
I cry for the child beat bloody hiding in a closet from a mother's rampage. I cry for the lover sitting at the edge their partners bed as they die in pain of cancer. I have seen these things and so many others through the eyes of those I love, those I care deeply for, and I cry. May my tears bring just one moment of eternal justice for the wrongs done to so many.
