I don't like to think of people
as people
because really,
we're so much more
than that.
And if you think about how little
we tend to care about others
people really do seem insignificant.
How often
do we appreciate
a person completely
for who they are?
Never.
We admire flowers
for growing through weeds
and butterflies for migrating
great distances,
but we don't admire
the average person.
So instead, I'll view people
as trees
with strong branches
or beautiful storms
that demand to be heard.
Because really,
we're all so much more
than just human.
And I'm not sure
why we always forget that.
