Contrite Heart

Contrite is just a word I know.
My soul has felt it's sting.
Did you ever stop to really listen and care?
Do you understand  much about everything?
Living to be quite old was never easy or even good. 
life is sometimes unfair and many humans unlovable ;misunderstood.
Youth is refreshing with new and bold idealizations.
Did you choose where you were born, the color of your skin or your Nation?
