Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

Can't Understand, Will Listen

I don't understand
I can't
I'm not you
I haven't lived your life
But I will support you

My understanding
is irrelevant
I don't have to understand
to accept that you believe
that this is what's best

I'll ask questions
Process my feelings away from you
So you don't get swayed
This isn't about me
It's about you

I'll listen
I'll try to understand
Above all else
I will continue to love you
Nothing will change that
