Kindness Is the Key

"How is it so easy for you to be kind to people?" He asked... milk and honey dripped from my lips and I answered," 'Cause people have NOT been kind to me." Rupi Kaur _____________ My path in life has been tangled from my beginnings- I met death at an early age and it seems he has followed me, and as a quiet and shy child I soon knew all about bullies . . . But instead of breaking me- it made me stronger! I have a strength within that is unfathomable ~ At times, I have fallen into the pit of life and clawed my way out, have been put down, abused, belittled, cast out, and forgotten. But kindness has always dripped from my lips, 'cause kindness is the key. _____________________________________ November 10, 2016 Poetry/Verse/Kindness is The Key Copyright Protected, ID 14-1224-709-0 All Rights Reserved.
