:)

a simple smile
is all that someone
ever needs.

we are all in
the same mess.
we feel pain
in the same way.

we have our struggles,
our needs,
our forms of
baggage
that we believe
no one
else can possibly
understand.
but we are not that
different.

if you
break it all down,
you will find
that it is simple:
we are not
kind enough to
each other.

we have been told
that opposition
is our only choice
in this
black and white
world.
you are either for it
or against it,
and there is no other way.
but life is all about
shades of gray.
nothing is ever
so decisive
that there isn't another
answer.
so be that answer,
be sympathetic,
lend an ear.
gift someone a smile.
it is not that difficult.
