An act of random kindness
Is all it takes
Try it at least once a day
See what happens
It will come back
From somewhere unexpected

A stranger offered me a strepsil on the train
Because I was coughing
Breaking the rule of personal space
A smile a helping hand
And a losenge

Your home is your castle
But in a disaster
You leap the fence
To check on your neighbur
Because your family is safe
You don't have to but you do it anyway

Start an avalanche
Influence whats around you
Control it  Own it
Take charge of your world
Because we can make it a better place
Together

I'll try to create an image of this convex feeling.

It's imperfections on a perfect painting,
Or dull colours in the sky on a beautiful day,
Or roughly shaven, golden stubble, with a part too long.

Its the sound of loneliness in a room full of extroverts,
A fire alarm blaring through a heavy metal concert.

The taste of strepsil.

Can't I decay while I progress? I want to go somewhere, and I know where, I'm helpless, since I know how to help myself, but don't want or need.
