Be Kind Poem by Johnny Hem

Be Kind



Kindness brings out the love in everyone's heart.
The gentle light that illuminates darkened pain.

Just a simple acknowledgement
To turn that frown upside down.
Some comfort during brittle times
Allows us to heal from inside.

This is all we need to push onwards,
Towards the scary mist that binds us.

Letting go of righteousness to let kindness and gratitude in
Begets a calming inner peace resonating from our hearts
That's not afraid of the monsters from within or outwards.

Don't let anger, judgement or justice get in the way of being kind,
For everyone struggles from inside, whether noticeable or not.

When antagonized by a crying heart,
Don't be consumed by your anger.
Let go and do not judge them as evil,
For our "justice" will crush their hearts.

Be honest, but do not let your ego betray the love of fragile beings.
Feel unsettling emotions, so vulnerability and compassion can shine.
For we're all in this together, all beings as one entity among the whole.

Don't be a threat to those afraid of feeling open and uncertain,
As they are the ones who wish to be held and loved the most.

Embrace everyone, whether you feel they "deserve" it or not.
We all just want to feel like we aren't a waste of space here.
So be gentle and give love towards all that meet your eye.

Don't be smart, blasting them with your intellect and status.
Just touch their hearts, cuddle them with heartfelt gratitude.
