what marks humanity?
why are animals different?
critical thinking--
philosophy--
vanity?
ah yes, the time spent
in front of a mirror, seeking
possibly
a new reality?

alas, we humans are selfish
only wanting success
for us and our family
us and our friends
no room for rubbish
only space for the best
no room for the insanity
time to focus on me instead

but still, there is hope
not all humans self seek--
some desire a better earth
one that helps instead of hurts
one where we don't have to cope
where there is praise for the meek
and the lonely find worth

and there is hope for the reader
who thinks they are invisible
for the one trapped inside
who believes there is no future
to you I say-- you will prosper;
you will bloom like a flower in April

your tears have never gone unnoticed
your cries did not go unheard
your sleepless nights were seen
your heavy weight is held
you are meant for more than this--

the days might be hard
but you don't fight alone.
even without words--
in the midst of the battle--
you are heard.

this is 4 u, warrior, fight on
