Passion for writing
Working day in and out, Has never been so much fun. Watching all the smiles around me Glowing all day long. My coworkers are merely my friends, And my friends are merely my coworkers. Knowing how we are making a difference, To those we don’t even know. That’s the feeling that motivates me, To return the very next day.
Breathing, Eating, Sleeping.
These are the basic things humans do. But when someone just stops these suddenly, Others could stop as well. Others would hold their breath. Others would not touch food. Others would lie with their eyes open. Others would be lost in life. Different things could lead to different outcomes. Some might stay lost, But life would pass, Lessons would be learned, And others will return to reality. Life would give others back the gifts of Breathing, Eating, Sleeping.
Haiku
Writing is my life Writing fuels my day and night Writing lifts me upAcrostic
Writing gives me an escape Reality never had a place for me Instead I went to my room Thinking of what to be Interesting places and new adventures Never turned away from me Giving me a place to beRules
I honestly hate rules I dislike the bonds put upon me The way they make us feel like mules, Thinking we’ll listen with glee. The bonds are put upon me And I feel like letting out a scream Even though they think we’ll listen with glee But the only thing coming out of me is steam I just want to scream And start running away Because coming out of me is just steam There must be some other way As I start to run away I know I’ll just be a fool There should be another way But I honestly hate rules.Sharing a smile
People love to laugh. People love to have fun. But sometimes it’s better When you add other people. Being in a group Will multiply the laughter. Take in the good, And subtract the bad. And sharing a smile Can make a friend into family.
