An Ode to Kindness | Jess Hrich

Sure I smile

Sure I laugh

Sure I’m friendly to all I meet

But you don’t see the constant fears,

the feeling sheer,

the nights in tears.

Those are my own personal treat.


Sure I hug

Sure I love

Sure I listen to your stress

But you don’t see the lack of sleep

thoughts to leap

at bay I’ll keep.

Those are my own personal mess.


So while I may

pretend or say,

“Hey! I’m doing fine,”

The challenges I face

don’t have any less base

just because they’re uniquely mine.


Stay kind.
