Words are often
The vehicle
To convey what you mean
Or intended to mean
Where the meaning and intention
Often get lost
In the perception
Of things
Some linked with our own
Fears, insecurities and ignorance
As it leads to further
misunderstandings and mistrust
In the end, have the courage
To address these little things
And, help mend the bridge
In the noise filled silence
Suffering
Be it physical or emotional
Perceived or real
Can be debilitating
Feeling as if one
Is being shattered
Into pieces
Respiration getting louder, heart pounding harder
As one begins to look around
One sees that pain everyone is carrying
Deep inside their eyes
Able to share a special connection
Everyone we meet
Is battling their own battle
Just remember
The lows allow us to dig deeper into ourselves
People that we meet
In our everyday life
Often bring along
Different experiences and various emotions
Some might have their own motives
Others genuinely want to get to know you
Some will deceive you
Others fill your world with hope and love
Still, it is important to remember
Not to let anyone destroy your inner peace!
Whether someone is good or bad
It says more about them than yourself
It is very easy to get caught
In that never ending vicious cycle
As ironically everyone is busy trying to change everyone else
Except themselves..
