The surface

From the outside

You notice one’s skin color

The clothes they wear

Their smile and vivacity

As deep down

One struggles with their own

Fears, tears and insecurities

Further increasing the sense of limitation and frustration

Where in reality

It is just

A game of the mind

And a question of perception and thought

Still, steady your mind

Keep faith and keep moving

As no one will be in a better position to help you

Than yourself

#JustBeYourself #StayTrueToYourself

The storm

Anger, grudge, frustration, resentment

Emotions that tend to flare up

Often for a minute

End up causing more damage

Not only to yourself, but others as well

Even during these moments

Have the courage

To take the first step

In the process of reconciliation

As the love and respect

You have for each other

Is more meaningful

Where at times they help

Build stronger relationships

And most importantly

Help us understand the value of one another in our life
