Why?

Why?

 Why are we scared?

 Why is fear overwhelming our delicate bodies?

 Why are we letting it?

 Why can’t we instead of being scared 

fight for others 

who’s voices are silenced?

 Why can’t we channel this fear this horror, 

 into the power to respond?

 Why can’t we just believe that it 

will get better?

Why can’t we find hope in this horrible pit of society? 

Why can’t you try?

  • What is home?

    Home is the place ,

    that you feel safe,

    where you're not scared,

     you don't hide who you are,

    it's a place where you're surrounded by loved ones,

    people who make everyday perfect,

  • Like a snowflake

    Our differences define our Beauty,

    like the intricate details of every snowflake,

    standing out from each other,

    not in a bad way,

    not in a sad way,

    but in a beautiful way,

  • Friends

    What is a true friend? What qualities make a true friend? What makes your friends so special? Are you a good friend?
