There are many things the world claims as fact.
We are told how to act.
It is full of promises and ideas.
That only leads to pain and fears.
But my truth is to not follow the crowd.
My spirit says it is not allowed.
Some people claim things that are false.
Yet it isn't always their fault.
They follow an endless circle of lies.
That blinds their very eyes.
But my truth is to do some research.
Not join the rest on the end of the perch.
Characters are created as people's masquerade.
Because they don't like the way they are made.
Now I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination.
But I accept what I've got and am grateful for its creation.
My truth is to be humble and individual.
Knowing that it will remain residual.

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.
