People

People will always,

Pry their way into your existence.

Peeking into your life,

Peering into your thoughts,

Praying for your misfortunes,

Preying on your vulnerabilities,

People are the scary part of being alive.

Punishing you for things they know nothing about,

Parting their lips to spread the rumors,

Passing by those in need.

People are what makes life livable.

Partaking in kindness is easy

Passion for another human, is easy.

Packing the emotions down to make you more comfortable.

Pleading to the fortunate that could make the changes.

Plastering a smile on every morning,

Playing the game to make life be okay.

Pace yourself for the unknown actions of others.

Panic at the site of people,

Put yourself in someone else's shoes,

Practice kindness rather than judgement.

People can change the world.

About the Creator

Lauren Dee

I have had very disturbing dreams my whole life. I write fictional short stories, rants and poems all based off of my experiences in life. They can be dark, but it's the only way I can get them out of my mind.
