A Ladybug Crawling

When I start to tear up I think of a ladybug crawling and how It must be fooled to think there's really raindrops falling. So I store my tears away to save that ladybug from the rain. Now when I want to smile I think of a forgotten nation were children always starve and they've got no education then I think of how silly It must be to smile just for me so I close my eyes bow my head and pray then I give my smile away. Now when I get really mad and yes I sometimes do, I think of a mother who lost her child to violence. I think of a dog beaten to death because he simply couldn't protest I put my anger away thinking how there's already enough and I might just overflow the cup then I make a friend I smile again so everything's okay I let anger go for a cloudy day somewhere far away. I think back to how I saved a ladybug from the rain and realize I made a hero Into me today.
