Sympathy
Sympathy is something That we all need. Not everyone finds it easy To be sympathetic. It can be challenging Especially if you’ve been hurt before. You lose all trust And faith you once had for this person. I still believe That we need to have sympathy Towards everyone, Regardless if they’ve hurt us or not.
Grace

Our World
Sometimes we need to take a step back And listen to our world. Sometimes we need to stop And remember our worth. Sometimes we need to be observant And notice our true surroundings. Sometimes we need to slow down And enjoy the pleasures of life.
Be Yourself
People tend to hide their intelligence Because they don’t want to be known As someone smart, clever, and ingenious. So, they hide it and pretend to be someone they’re not.

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.

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.

Heaven
The shadow of hay Glimmers across the spring fieldFor our dear loved God.

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. It needs to be conventional as well For them to discuss Openly with trust And no fear of any harm. The community needs to stay safe AndContinue reading “Helping”
