Favorite Quote:
"A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve."
Joseph Joubert


I stand here alone and lost
I stare into the water
However I do not see myself
I see a person I hate
On this moonless night
It brings back my shame
Traveling for so long
I have become weary, powerless
Everything taken from me
I no longer have a home
I cannot go any farther

I saw this painting of a man with a walking stick looking into water. I jotted down a few word that came to mind and I pieced them together and came up with this poem.
