A Matter of Attitude

Some instances reveal who we are;
in situations where problems are. 
Hard to be kind, unable to stand
and promise to say we'll be all right.

  Conflicts and other forms of misunderstanding
  can generate separation or conflict of cultures.
  It's a way to keep us drawn to certain thoughts
  That enable us to figure out what to do.

Sadness emerges and afflicts our hearts,
its power reveals to clothe us with weakness
its consequence makes us look beyond,
what’s inside that needs to find its light.

  Reactions vary in our mood swings;
  they imply certain degrees of pain.
  on human level where we're immersed
  it's openness and a test of patience.
