reverence


I have reverence for the people who can smile even when they're dying inside,
for those who include others when they can tell that they feel left out,
the ones that start the conversation because they know that the other person doesn't know how,
those people who wait for you to tie your shoe,
who smile and say, "Hi" in the hallways,
they distract you when you need it,
the ones who smile when you make eye contact with them,
who can make you laugh, truly laugh,
those that stay loyal 'till the end,
It is they who inadvertently help people whether they know it or not.

    I still don’t find it fair that thrice isn’t a thing

    I’m walking tomorrow

    For my mother who never even got to high school
    Who frowns whenever I’ve put my schoolwork over cleaning my room

    Because I will go half hungry so they can eat the other part of my sandwich,

    The simmering heat of anger that a sibling can make you burn with can be quite questionable,
