It's bad manners
        before others to sigh
        to them it matters
       not--whether you live or die

What is the use of such life where you have no one to talk to.

Are you desperate to be right all of the time?
How much better at day's end to be found kind!

"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see." ~Mark Twain

A chance encounter
a snapshot in time
life's random moments
are simply sublime

In pursuit

          of perfection,

Seldom have I

          also seen success.

My tears are
saltier than the ocean’s

My heart is
heavier than Sisyphus’ rock

My secrets
that I buried beneath my
skin has turned into scars

My body is
but a graveyard
