"why are we always trying so hard?" my eyes shift towards my mother, and i say "when we are going to die anyways."  
"beti," says my mother as she walks up to me and sits next to me holding me in her arms, she continues "it's because most of the time we're striving so hard isn't for ourselves, it's for the people we love."
i miss my mum so much <3

Truth is still water,
a gentle whisper,
a soft touch.
Easy to ignore
yet
persistent
consistent.

Injustice will always spur many under
the flag of one cause
When kindred souls are united by the fire of tragedy,
they have the power to change the world

(I want to at least post one thing a day now that I'm back home ^-^)
I sincerely hope and pray that things will get better over time.
That we can plant seeds in better and healthy soil and the future will eat to sweeter and safer fruit.
Of course in perspective, things can change for better or for worse. I always pray for the former. Always..,
Much love, light and prayers to you all.
Stay safe and well everyone!

Sometimes the pain is so intense
That people forget to smile
Sometimes you're so tired
You lose all the interest
Sometimes the wait is so long
Your words value doesn't matter
Sometimes your body doesn't
Carry the weight which normally carries
BE A FRIEND TRUE

A fair weather friend, please be do not.

In silly misunderstandings, do  not get caught

Cause these  battles, which were unnecessarily fought.

In friendship, politics and religion, please involve do not .

Stand by your friends as solid rocks, when they need support.

Be that anchor strong; be their ship's port.

I've lost my foothold
The world seems incorrigible
And no one is listening to me saying,
"Just be a good person!"

Everything is an argument
But why?
I see what is happening here
And everywhere else

The time is now
To begin to work together
Instead of fighting
But, demand change

The human RACE
Has only ever really benefited
From working together
The fighting needs to stop

Stand up and be you

Eyes can’t focus

Brain can’t process

With all this hate and discrimination

If life was a sea
I would be rowing my boat
Against the high tides
Don't conform to life's expectations, row against them instead.
We do not need to follow the tide, we can all be independent, unique and individual 💖

There is no companion,
Only company.
There is no love but
They are lovely.
There is no curiosity to ask:
“What are your dreams?”
“Your secrets?”
“Your difficulties?”
There’s no desire to observe a legacy.

Maybe the protagonist is to blame.
Years were spent building
A foundation based on
Secrecy and mistrust
But I had no idea
People were happy and willing
To play along.
