'selfless gratitude' -
not something one inherits;
a skill one acquires.

i'm still running, running fast;
i'm running fast... i'm running fast -
this was never meant to last!

they say its easier said than done.
i say, not poetry.
it's easier done than said.

I saw that she was
A radioactive girl
And was lonely still

Wearing a jumpsuit
And a helmet for safety
I said hello there

She smiled at me
And I realized that maybe
Effort was needed

If everyone tried
Radioactive people
Wouldn’t be so lonely
