Beautiful Scars Poet Verse

Quote Prompt 1

Quote Prompt:
"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



I've been swept into the depths of hell and back-
          seen sights of cruelness beyond life's recognition,
                                                      and yet-
  here I stand tasting life, as sweet as honey-
          mercilessness creates virtuous benevolence...
