Sometimes we forget to be mindful Of others’ feelings. But sometimes they forget to be mindful Of our feelings. Remember that we’re all humans And that we have emotions too. Be mindful of what you say Because it can be the difference between keeping or losing a life.

A Good Heart
The goodness in yourHeart constantly shines dailyWhen I see you smile.
Nothing is Constant
If you think that everything is simple in life, Then you’re in for a surprise. Nothing is constant. Nothing is the same. The world is unpredictable. Anything can turn upside down in a second So, don’t rely on just one plan. Nothing is always accurate Because things are being discovered Every single day Changing ourContinue reading “Nothing is Constant”
Resume
The movie is on play But I need some popcorn. No movie is complete without popcorn. So, I press the button and fetch my snack. I press the button again And resume my wonderful film.
Perceptions
We all perceive life differently. This can lead to disagreements Which are never fun. They can tear relationships apart And ruin the most amazing things in your life. We should be open to various views Before we become overprotective. So be more open to new ideas as there are multiple sides to a story.
Save
When her heart is broken, When her mindset is negative, When her health is shambled, I will be at her rescue in a heartbeat.
Quick Beats
The fast pace That a cheetah runs Is the quick beating Of my heart When you talk to me.
I Didn’t Know What Else to Do
Sometimes I wish I never did What I’ve done because it pulls at my heart. Regret is taking over me And now I wish that I could turn back time. The pain will never ever leave Because it aches for you to come back. Sometimes I wish I thought it through Because I knowContinue reading “I Didn’t Know What Else to Do”

I’m Sorry – Duet
Pain never felt like this before But now I think you’ve opened up my heart. You showed me another style of hurt And now I think I’ve got another scar. Sometimes I wonder If you even care. Since pain is slow But a bullet through my heart. I’m sorry that I couldn’t tell you IContinue reading “I’m Sorry – Duet”
Convicts
The convict had a hard life. They probably never meant to do a crime. They were probably desperate. They would have to survive A six-month journey Across the sea With the chief. To plead Would be a crazy idea. It would never work And all they will receive in return Is trouble climbing up theirContinue reading “Convicts”
Scare
The raid outside my city Was a scary experience Especially when I was trying to concentrate on studying.
Shopping Spree
I love the new bow at the boutique And the best part is that there is a discount. I purchase the bow and I feel like I should reinforce my spending As a result of my shopping spree.
Building
When I build a foundation, I usually choose concrete because the gravel is strong. This is helpful especially when I put my foot on top to check.
Heaven
The shadow of hay Glimmers across the spring fieldFor our dear loved God.
Nobility
You know that noble people are well-mannered. You know that noble people wouldn’t belt you. But do you wonder if a noble person would point their finger at you because you made a mistake?
Time to Go Vegetarian
Today I decided That I would become a vegetarian. I say no to the bacon in the fridge. “That’s for my husband, not me.” I glide graciously Across the floor Ready for a delicious breakfast Of my favourite eggless French toast.
If the Wars Never Existed

Seaside
Sunny days and cool salt breeze. The warm golden sane between my toes. It’s extremely peaceful with the sounds Of chirping birds. The shiny shells Lay near the shore And glimmer and shimmer When the waves brush over. The seaweed tangled on rocks Dance when their partner returns. Swish, swish, swish. Calming waters go upContinue reading “Seaside”
My Tedious Life
I lay on the bed Staring up at the dome window Into space. The next day, I walk into the library And borrow my books for class. Apathy feels my heart As I have nothing to do And this is my tedious life, day in and day out.
Soap
Tell me I’m crazy, But I really love the soap Sold at the city. The beautiful bubbles Swimming in the water And blowing the sweet fragrance around. I am moving to the city But not for other opportunities. I’m moving to the city to be closer to my favourite soap.
Helping
As a citizen of the community, There is a need to refer someone To seek out help at times. It’s the hardest thing to do sometimes as well.
