Ripping bandaids,
done sincerely,
only hurts
a little bit,
yet with lingered,
apprehension,
it will hold a
lasting sting.
Never laugh at
others tears,
or those same tears
will find you,
feeling joy in
seing sorrow,
retribution
is your view.
Be the person
you want to see
passing by you
so carefree,
As you dance with
drowning feet
your heart drums
a different beat.
– Grace Y. Estevez-Reddy
