"Please don't look at me" I cried
"There's no escape..."
The beast responded "...just try!"

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.

Oooo, this was so creepy and I'm attracted to that beast at the same time, lol! Loved your Haiku!
That is fun, Anna! You capture this brilliantly in a mere 19 syllables. FANTASTIC! Well done.
This is a spooky little poem! Great work!
