significantly siphoning Smaller Sister's serenity,
She steps sideways, surprised,
securing sarcastic spite spewed sharply.
She serves Senior Sister some sane semantics,
showcasing superior stealth strikes.
seething, simmering, scorching,
Senior Sister stomps shamefully, sequestering.
slowly, she stops.
she's shedding some snarkiness,
somberly swallowing snideness.
she supposes she should say sorry,
so she seems somewhat sympathetic.
she swears she sees solutions.
she seeks some simple scripts,
skillfully sorting so Smaller Sister sneaks solely snips.
surprisingly, she somehow suppresses support.
she subdues socialization, safety, services.
Smaller Sister seems scared.
She sinks, saddened.
Senior Sister successfully sabotages solitude,
starts silly squabbles, sets slimy standards,
shades shine.
specific stories she shares shape standards.
soon, she stands separately.
Smaller Sister soars, singing songs sweetly.
She stops shrinking.
She starts summoning spiritual support.
She seeks serendipity, searching skyward.

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.
