We Can Grow From This. Poem by samantha mulkins

We can grow from this.

People make mistakes everyday.
people fuss people fight.
People drink and drive.
Some get hurt,
and are still alive.
But others didn't make it.

We can grow from this.

We emotionally neglect others everyday.
We ignore them and treat them like they are nothing.
We act as though we are better.
We are people.

We can grow from this.

Everyone wants to make it to the top.
No one cares about what they have to do to get there.
We lie, we cheat, we steal.
We are deceitful individuals.

We can grow from this.

People who suffer,
work at being better than the ones who hurt them.
Who hurt you?
Are you trying to be better?
We are people.
We make mistakes.
Its up to us to grow from this.
