Other People

I care for other people
Do what other people tell me
Reply and listen to their requests
Bear with them and love them 
With my heart and soul 
Then what other people do 
Other people look at me despicably 
Dismiss me and shout at me 
For I did talk pleasant
For God to shout at them I hope
After I waited for other people
Stood up for them and got beaten 
Other people remain People 
That live and I don’t know how
With no Heart or Soul

Every heart has a personal journey to find love for itself. Sometimes we think that we are lost forever on the shelf. With yesterdays winds blowing strong eroding today's shores. A whisper is all that we have to keep kindness in store. Peace. :)
