I ask the ground below

"Why don't you crumble?"

It answers,

"No one thanks me for my

kindness, but I must stay 

humble." 

~

I ask the sky above me,

"Why are you so blue?" 

It answers, 

"I'm sad, upset, but I have

to pull through" 

~

I ask the fire that's blazing,

"Why are you so mad?" 

It answers, 

"Because I learnt to be honest, 

and that being myself is okay. 

I'm mad because I'm not accepted,

but I never fray. 

You ask all these questions

yet you seem so glum?" 

I answer with a smile, 

"I leared from someone special 

to be humble, selfless and to be honest,

even when I'm numb."
