responsibility is not an obligation
it is not a role
it is not a need
it is not an urge
it is not a bind
it is not a chain
it is not a debt
it is not a duty
it is not a commitment
it is the ability to respond
an ability. that allows possibility
for us
when we observe
a thing. an event. a lack. an excess. a need.
and we know how to change it
shape it
in a way we choose to
responsibility is
the ability to do so
because we know how
because we are able
and with this power
we
can
choose to respond
