"People believe that if we really want to eliminate something, focus on that. How much sense does it make for us to give the particular problem all of the energy, as opposed to focusing on trust, love, living in abundance, education, or peace? -Un.


I'm looking at her,
She speaks the wisest words.
There's so much knowledge,
Inside her young heart.
I tell her about my crying, my tears.
And I look away.
Creating waterfalls down my cheeks,
I look in her eyes,
And I try to put on a happy face.
But still, things don't seem quite right,
Between us.
Circumstances have changed.
We have changed.
For better or worse,
We must accept the way it is.
We must accept the way we are.
The water flows faster now,
And I try to look up,
But I can't muster up the strength,
To look into her eyes.
Because, well, we just aren't the same...

When I'm upset, I can't make eye-contact. I do not have the courage to speak up for myself or for others. When I'm upset, I'm weak. For me, this was a time where I was trying to talk to an old friend, but we could not relate at all.
