The things that of life

Is like a double edged sword

Painful yet

Beautiful

Horrifying yet

Satisfying

From a hungry child roaming freely on the streets

To a satisfyingly warm shower at the end of a tiring day

From all the people struggling to get clean water

To rays of sunlight hitting your face on a beautiful day

While it may imprison you

Or torture you, emotionally, physcially

Or **** those that matter to you

It will show you peace

It will show you love

It will show you kindness

It will show you what it truly means to be healed

What it truly means to be happy

There may be times where the idea of hope is

impossible

Where the need to fight on may seem

Useless

Where to flee to give up may seem

Easy

But to fight on,

And

to believe in hope

To not flee

To not give up

Is that which makes us human

Is that which makes our lives

Mean more

Is that which make us stand out

For If you arent to live for yourself

Live for those around you,

Those you are to meet

Those that stand by you

And

Those that love you

For you have all the power in the world

For one too realise the true meaning of happiness

One must realise what its absence is as

evil strikes in the gaps of humanity.
hold your brothers and sisters close,
keep your pets and companions near,
and unite.

evil lurks where our hearts fail.
keep compassion for your fellows,
make time to help those who need it,
and unite.

evil slips in when we lose sight of ourselves.
read up till your eyes give out,
arm yourself with knowledge of immovable facts and educated opinions,
and unite.

evil will see us fall when we forget each other.
remember that across the oceans and borders,
across language and history and culture and religion,
we are all a part of each other,
and unite.
sometimes it feels like people have forgotten that we're all the same species living on the same planet with each other.
