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 t a n g l e d 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 d r i p p e d from my lips, cause kindness is the key. ___________________________ November 10, 2016 Poetry/Free Verse/Kindness is the Key Copyright Protected, ID 11-848-785-10 All Rights Reserved, 2016, Constance La France For the contest, Quote Prompt 1- Free Verse sponsor, Laura Loo First Place

So easy to say but so difficult for some of us to follow through. A wonderfully written sentiment.

Kindness is definitely the key. This was fantastic, quite sad and heartbreaking within but the strength that was found is expressed perfectly and is very encouraging. I wish you the best of luck in the contest.
