I was once reminded of this pain,
Behold, this was the reality I had to face.
Why can't I do things right for you?
I had to prove myself to you,
To prove I could be someone who
Was ready to take challenges with you.
Having lost all hope, I felt helpless,
Sometimes I shed tears thinking
I didn't deserve your love and care.
Why can't this world let us be?
This was the challenge we'd chosen to confront together.
Sometimes I recount the times we spent
Together, happy and fulfilled,
Cherishing these memories became
The only safe place I could find.
I should have done more to make you proud,
But I was lost.
We had sworn together to be happy
Under these trees, tied with red knots.
We were so fulfilled, looking forward
To our lives together and our dreams.
Looking back, I felt a strange feeling.

Building A Better Tomorrow
In the field which I work in, I have learned many things, and of those things, I would most certainly say that the most valuable tool I have in my arsenal, which has the greatest capability of helping to not just bridge the gaps, that exist when communication barriers are present, it allows for the true establishment of authentic connection, this tool is none other than Compassion. I take time each and every morning, to reflect on the experiences I have had, and when I began doing this initially, I had much more than yesterday to reflect on, I had years of trauma which had been left in the darkness, having had no light truly shed upon them for a substantial duration of time. When something happens to us, of either a smaller less significant impact, or something of a greater, more significant impact, we must always ensure that we take the time to analyze, and process these events, regardless of how big or little they may be.
