Strange People

Strange people
with their idiosyncrasies,
their failures,
and flaws,
hurt
and causing hurt,
jagged edges
produced by pain
others cannot begin
to comprehend.

Selfish and
self-serving,
ignorant of heard heart cries,
longing for calm
to still their own storms.

Unable to safely settle,
or completely commit,
or clearly count their blessings.

Stirring trouble,
or resisting
those rallying
to help.

We come across
them every day.

Don't judge them.

They look a lot
like me and you.
