Ana Dyminski Poem
A teacher asked me for this homework, to give some advice about the difference between empathy and sympathy, then I wrote this poem, but we didn't go over it yet. I'd like to share with you all and I hope people can be more empathetic in 2016. Here you go (it is a bit silly, don't laugh at me):
I have this homework to do
which is to give some advice
about when you walk in someone's shoes
or just say something to be nice
It's about empathy and sympathy
there are some slight differences
but I'll put it simply
and I have to make sentences
Sympathy has no affection
it's like saying "I'm sorry that you're blue"
but empathy fuels connection
you feel as if the other person were you
you come up with the right thing
just because what you say is true
you don't judge the other human being
empathy is as if it were you
In order to connect with someone
It is simple and I'll explain:
you feel like your hearts were one
you also suffer from the other's pain
If someone shares their sadness
you recognize their emotion
your heart is not callous
empathy is like an open ocean
One thing we do sometimes
is we're sympathetic to be polite
Sorry, empty words are like crimes
I wonder if it is right
The truth is love matters more
than words we say in vain
if a friend comes sad to your door
open your heart to relieve their pain
How can we comfort a friend
who has been picked on by the boss
or to bring peace and put an end
to their pain because of a loss?
Connection is what you have to find
and be honest and sincere
do not try to make up their mind
and if you feel, just drop a tear
this is what empathy is about
to feel, to know, to share
life stresses us out
but we care, we care...?

He was riding his bike;
and he rode it whither he would please-
the wind blew through his face.

Ana Dyminski Poem
Poem for Paris
People are crying, the world is wearing black
why so much hate and massive attacks?
We cannot understand and explain it all
We should open hearts and not build walls
We have to plant love and raise good feelings
We are all the same, we are all human beings
Through love and tolerance, wars may cease
We just need love, the world craves peace
We have to help now the one who cries
no matter their skin, the color of their eyes
who says segregation is a solution, misleads and lies
Upon the life that fades and flickers and dies
We all have blood and feelings and heart
We have to hold hands, not to be set apart
It is life, we are people, it is real, not a game
We are humans, we have to know we are all the same?

Ana Dyminski Poem
There will be a day you'll feel so delighted
you will feel the wind yet without moving
In this day, you will feel so excited
Everything surrounding will be so soothing
You will smile even without perceiving
when it'll rain, you'll let yourself get wet
Happiness is just a matter of believing
in a couple things that sometimes we forget
Oh, you will let, let the rain drench you
Because you know the sun will be back soon
You will know, know this fact is so true
Like a sunset right after the afternoon
You will remember every single day
when you hadn't seen the light passing by
The sun just came and you let it go away
you even hadn't taken a look at the sky
Never cry anymore, don't cry in vain
you have to know that time flies
once a day is gone, it won't come again
don't waste time by closing your eyes
Better off living, oh, yeah, my dear
there is a place where the sun shines for you
no more regret, no more tear
because life is too short to be blue
When things weight too much on our shoulders
sometimes we think we can't bear
When the weather gets colder
and the wind messes up our hair
If it happens, just remain strong
sometimes we get ourselves trapped in lies
you will be fine,baby, you can't go wrong
Don't close your eyes because time flies

Ana Dyminski Poem
In this lonely day, I hide my pain
no one to talk and nothing to say
looking through the window, I see the rain
as my heart the weather is also gray
But the night is coming
and I will go out
because the music is humming
it's all about (it)
(chorus)
The time is frozen, of evening long hours
there is no camouflage for my sadness
you broke my heart with a thousand flowers
I try to be far away from my madness
Chorus
I missed myself by listening to your words
and now my soul is broken into pieces
my heart is spiked by millions swords
and the deep pain never cease...
chorus
and I will dance, dance all night
everything is going to be all right
because I will dance, dance all night?

Ana Dyminski Poem
It had been my dream since long go
I was so happy I could go
for the first time get to see snow
I thought it would freeze my toe
I looked around, above and below
mesmerized by the white floe
appreciating the milky show
feeling the frosty wind to blow
walking excitedly, carefully and slow
how my heart was, no one could know
I went so crazy, walking to and fro
I didn't like skiing though
just the landscape and its shining glow
I went sledding many times in a row
A bunch of snowballs was nice to throw
A snowman by me was able to grow
I went snowboarding following the flow
and left that place with a sense of woe
If I will ever go back, I trow!

Ana Dyminski Poem
I am from a house full of kids and vacations with family reunions at my relatives' farm,
I am from the smells of fruits and flowers and the smell of wet earth, and mischief without intent to harm.
I am from a time to make-believe to be an actress or a beautiful model full of charm
I am from a childhood surrounded by perfume,
memories, happiness, and also gloom.
My best friends and best members of my family were always a pen and paper to jot down my fantasy.
I am from busy parents who had put me in a Catholic school with nuns who were always talking about heaven and generosity
but in fact, they were wicked and they were always trying to prune my curiosity
by punishing me for asking and doubting about the Bible story
and once again the pen and the paper were both my glory.
The paper and the pen never disappoint me and never leave me alone
They were always with me and they have never gone.
I am from Polish blood and Brazilian heart,
I am made from pieces and made from parts.
I have no labels, I am a learner, I'm right and wrong
I am longing to live forever and supposed to last a season,
like all the human beings who are not for so long.
So, I will be happy with or without reason.
From "I dare you" as my cousin used to say
"No one can dare me", I will answer, it is my way.
I am from a childhood full of dreams, full of mess
I was a tomboy and also a princess
I was an actress holding a Pepsi
I am full of failure and success
I was everything I was longing to be
A child can do anything with imagination
I am grew up, I am a human being, I am just like me
with pen and paper to give me the same sensation?

Ana Dyminski Poem
My final argument has to be the coda
but it has not been good for me
I cant keep fizzing like a can of soda
like a tepid tea is what I have to be
It is hard to accept that I am the captain
no matter the situation I am going through
and work harder for what is going to happen
and don't allow any jerk to make me blue
But the fact is that I have the reins
to control the horse I want to ride
and I can go farther, beyond the plains
It is about being proactive, not about pride ?

Ana Dyminski Poem
I feel good if I have money
listen to a joke that is funny
or someone calls me honey
but I feel even better
if I finish a letter
or something someone asks
when I finish tasks
I feel good if I have no money
or if the joke is not funny
I feel good when the sun is not shining
cuz I know every cloud has a silver lining
I feel good even if I make a mistake
cuz tomorrow will come for our sake
and it is only a day away
to be better than yesterday!?

Ana Dyminski Poem
That kiss
You haven't stood much beside
but there were sparkles and hot flashes above
in our war, no one killed, no one died
in the trenches of desire, what exploded was love
I tried to escape, I tried to run away
my heart raced so fast, so fast
It was the same, one day, next day
then, your lips touched mine, we had a blast
for a few seconds in the eternal blood with rhythmic wing
so intense and forever while it lasted
I was your queen and you were my king
It was not too much, but it was fantastic
