There for each other
Thick and thin
They always show up
No matter where you’ve been
They help you when the going gets tough
She is who I look up to
She can always cheer me up
When I’m feeling blue
Built-in best friends
Inspired by my cousin, Hannah. She challenged me to write a poem about her. Thanks for reading!

Happiness is a feeling
Way down deep inside
It can be hard to get
And it's very hard to hide

For some it's hard to grasp
And when asked “Do you have it?” they lie
Some lie to much and get all sick inside
Some may even want to die

Enough of the sad
There is so much good
Would you give it out
If you could?

The world is full of people
Some who won’t share
The world is also full of people
Who care
Thanks for reading!

The robin in the tree
Says with a chirp-cherrie
Spread your wings
And fly young things!
Thanks for reading!

Why
Why is life hard?
Why is this world scarred?
Why can we not see the stars?
Why are many behind bars?
Why do so many die?
Why do so many lie?
How long does it take,
to learn from a mistake?
What is with this life?

Why is life so unfair?
Why do many critique what you wear?
Why do many pretend you aren’t there?
Why does no one seem to care?
Why do so many cry?
Why do so many die?
How long will it rain,
Until we see the sun again?
What is with this life?
This came to me after reading the Librarian Of Auschwitz. The story of Dita Kraus is an inspiring and heartbreaking tale. The scene with the flurry of black snow, the cloud of ashes of the fellow prisoners, moved me the most in the book. Please read it and open your heart to compassion and love. Thanks for reading.

Loneliness is a
Yoke we carry even when
We are surrounded

Fear
Such a small word
Such a powerful feeling
Fear
Of the unknown
Of never healing
Fear
Of evil
Of failing

Fear
Of death
Of what may or may not be
Fear
Of life
Of the loss of friends and family
Fear
Of being alone
Of strife

Fear
Of stereotypes
Of losing pace
Fear
Of pain
Of hate
Fear
Of everything or nothing
Of losing this race

Run
Winds whistle
Trees sway
Screams ripple
Run away

In my mind
I lose it
Don’t you dare try
To soothe this

I like to escape
I like to think
I can feel your hate
Swim, before you sink

My mind is a tornado
Breaking this countryside
Run like a torpedo
You should probably hide
Wrote this during a tornado warning. :D
