#lighten
Astonish the world with humanity.
Amaze it with acts of kindness.
Stun it with creativity.
Shake it with exceptional ideas.
Bewilder it with compassion.
Astound it with forgiveness.
Reveal to it the best of being.
Surprise it with a soft heart.
Impress it with generosity.
Light it up with optimism.
Guard it against abuse and injustices.

“I guess you were right-” i say,
Sitting alone in open flame-
“ i really did just need to lighten up.”

I don't like to use the word hate, but busybody worker bees who micro-analyze what other people do or don't do, **** me off.
We're all different and have our own quirky personalities. I see those who single people out in so-called social circles. They don't fool me with their classic misdirection. Trying to hide and mask their own insecurities and weirdness. All to ensure that they fit in with the so-called norm.
I'm weird and I wear it like a three-piece suit, and you know what? I'm looking good! Attention all you circles, clicks, and social groups. I'll keep being me. If that puts me on the outside looking in, then so be it for that's where my freedom dwells.

When a housekeeper pours her heart into her work, making your home Clean and shining,
Say thank- you!
When a waitress greets you with a warm smile, and tries her best to Provide you a quality service,
Say thank- you!
When a mailman struggles to deliver your mail, fighting through Challenging weather,
Say thank-you!
Make others feel valued,
Express your gratitude,
Lighten their day with words of appreciation,
Embrace them with humanity, and treat them with kindness!

When I was a child for fun I used to pretend to have super strength when crushing crackers in my soup...
Huh! Turns out it’s still as fun as I remember.

The heart is greater than the eyes,
For the heart, amidst all the pain,
Sees through the delicate lenses of beauty!
The heart is superior over the ears,
For the heart, amid all the loud noise,
Listens to the softest whispers of humanity!
The heart is bigger than the nose,
For the heart, among all of the scents,
Smells the fragrance of new life!
The heart is larger than the hands,
For the heart, amongst all that it can do,
Touches in a way that is softer than the dawn’s dew!
The heart is superior to the tongue,
For the heart, with all of its might,
Speaks only the sweet letters of kindness!
The heart is more immense than all of the human senses,
For the heart carries so much love,
It can lighten up the face of the whole universe!

You bring me up
When I feel down
You turn my frown
Upside down
I know it sounds cliche
But you're everything
My night and day

Trumpets blaring
clouds parting
all staring
in a roar
He's come! He's come!
He's come again
we've too long
ached for more!
Indeed my children
I've woke again
with three years
under my belt
I've been up
and I've been down
I've been numb
and even felt
No longer a boy
of sixteen years
as my journey here
had begun
But you don't care, I have like- what?- three followers?
anyways, I'm nineteen now.
and don't bother, I'll make applause noises for myself with my mouth.
