He said, “How are you?” She smiled,
“I’m doing well, and you?” He replied,
“I’m fine too,
But were they truly feeling?
It’s easy to say “I’m good” and move along,
Than speak of feelings hidden, buried strong.
In a world of stress, anxiety, and strife,
Who really understands the chaos of life?
No one to hear our inner fuss,
In a world consumed by selfish “us.
”But beauty blooms when hearts align,
When “me” becomes “we,” and spirits shine.
Speak softly, with words so kind,
For honesty can sometimes blind.
In a world where gentle words are heard,
We could all be happy, like soaring birds.
