I've held it up
Born to be tough
I suppose not enough love
I was trained to never give my energy
Now I stand unbold
My story was written
Do I give in
Instead I drink all night
Smash the cake
Take what is mine
Cry once a day and walk away
I'm hard to find
So keep me in mind
Oh beautiful Jasmines
Tell the sky that the sea doesn't
want any fish
The moon plays with the sun
My red cheeks drawing the
Eglantines leaves

یاسمن های زیبا
به آسمان بگویید
دریا دیگر ماهی نمی خواهد
ماه با خورشید بازی می کند
لپ های سرخ من
برگ های گل نسترن را نقاشی می کشد
you know those nights when
you wake up with fiery blood
and a point to prove,

when you don't need a
machine gun, but want to show
off your tiny ****

and this, the only
way you can make them listen
bang! feel the rhythm

dance to that music
bang! show the world what happens
to any that doubt.

bang! and now, although
your life is forfeit, you give
them the quick way out.

no? neither do i.
you'd think they'd put a stop to
it. but ugh, that's hard.
America, pull your ******* act together. We need you in your right minds, guys. Put a stop to this ****.

I woke up at 4 am
to the news of a mass shooting,
in Las Vegas.

It makes me sick,
that this is the kind of place
my kids will grow up in.

Now I just wonder,
has it always been this way?

When we were kids,
did our parents just cover our eyes,
and hide our face?

Or is all this ****,
this negative energy,

the beginning of an America

that's far more sinister?


It will be hard,
but we have to fix it.

I refuse to let my kids grow up
worried about ballistics.
Please Pray for the lives lost, the injured, the damaged, and the broken souls who thought taking lives was the answer, even though it never is.
How she glows
when she paints
doors and windows

her coloring skills
create magic windowgrills
trap me in her crush!

Smudges on her face
prints on her dress
does marvel her brush

she goes all the way
to make me lovely day
tempts to cuddle her!

It's how it goes
I move ever close
not wanting to be loser

she gets the naughty whiff
says don't play mischief
come not any closer!

   Model kindness in your home
             so young ones learn how to treat people.
  Take steps to speak nice to
    one another behind closed doors
    so your children hear and copy its behavior.
*  Judge less your child, so they judge less others.
        
  Instill in your children that it is WRONG to
            tease anyone as we all carry divine differences.
        *  And please pass out love and compassion
             to your family so they pass   love and
            compassion at school.

             P.S.   ADULTS PLEASE REALIZE
           you are the ones who can help end bulling behavior.
           It is your duty, as parents to do so
I was bothered by how mean kids can be with bulling and since I did a few Dear poems I decided to do ONE more just to the parents of bullies. Please pass it around so we can end the cruelty
