We all have hearts,
Yet nobody has compassion.

We all have eyes,
Yet nobody can see past the color of your skin.

We all have mouths,
Yet all we can speak is hate.

Our fists were used for breaking barriers,
Not for breaking each other.

Our words were used for destroying hate,
Not making more.

We're all stuck on this planet.
A rock flying through space.
We're all stuck here together.
So why can't we get along?

You can't save the world if there's not a world to save.
You can't destroy the world if there's not a world to destroy.
We're all the hero.
We're all the villain.
We're the main characters in our stories.

We're the focus of our poems.
We're all writing poems for ourselves.
We're all writing poems for each other.

So if you choose to write...
Write for good.

If you choose to speak...
Speak love.

And then we'll be able to see past our differences
And see past our similarities
See past our hate
See past our love

We'll stop seeing the universe.
And start seeing each other.

So open your eyes.

Listen to the waves.
Feel the wind through your hair.
Dig your toes in the sand.

Can you feel it?
Can you feel the ocean?
Can you feel my love?

The waves are my thoughts.
The wind is my devotion.
The sand is my promises.

Lose yourself in my beach.
I can be your safe space.
Would you like to build a sand castle with me?

When it's time to go, take a piece of me with you.

A shell, some sand, some of my water.

That way you can hold on to our tranquility forever.
That way you can hold on to our love forever.

I'll be your beach, as long as you need.
