Your conversations consist
of bragging, and
trying to out do your friends.
You want to win.
That's what Christmas
has become.
A season of
who gets the most.
While I sit here in my shoe-box residence.
No Christmas tree.
No presents.
Nothing.
Not by choice,
but by lack of resources.
And you know what?
I'm happy.
This year, I learned
that getting presents
isn't everything.
Giving
Watching
Smiling
Compassion
are the things that keep
Christmas spirit alive.
So while you unwrap your ****
wondering what you get-
I will silently sit,
smiling through all of it.
