When I'm feeling frail
Or even full of anger
The pen meets paper

Even if its a few words
Or just a measly scribble
It makes all the difference

Maybe it's the quiet
The solidarity
A time to reflect

Could it be the escape
Into my dreams
And creations

Or is it simply
The smell of the ink in this cheap pen
That feels like home

If my poem stopped too soon
its because my page ran out of room...
when I get to the end I have so much trouble pushing onward

Lord I know you've got my back
When my dry ground begins to crack
*you send the rain

Just think
you're lucky to be alive
as you had such small chances of ever being born
so don't live your life wasting away
waiting for a moment you could so easily create
To live can be such a good fortune
it is often overlooked and misunderstood
we could be eternally nothing
drifting in the spaces between existence and everything else
Live with all your heart and love
with all your feeling and thought
it's worth all the times we will all share
whether we are together or apart
we are a part of life that is the most beautiful and detailed art
lucky for us we have the ability to see in our point of view
the life we share.

To each their own form of bravery
For though this life is an individual test
It is not a challenge of rivalry

All have their hardships
Struggles of pain and unfairness
Working to rise again once being tripped

Do not judge another by what is seen
For bravery is often quiet
Keeping hidden where they've been

There are struggles that you
Will never, ever know
That may be very real to those around you

From physical limitations and disabilities
To emotional pain and despair
Life shows us our certain mortality

The goal is to still appreciate the gift of life
And become a better person
Becoming refined through our strife

So at points when you're low
And especially at points when you're high
Never judge someone, for you never know

Someone you see could be fighting
The fight of their lifetime, so think
Before you assume it's weakness you're sighting

Their fight may have just begun
Or maybe it's been going and going
And they can't last, they're done

No one has the right to judge another's bravery
