Leena Writes

Rating: 5.0


I'm not you, and you'll never be me.
I advocate for causes that are dear to my heart.
See, I root for things that makes me happy.
I love 'wordsmithism', books, poetry, art,
sweets and many more. You're frowning,
told you I'm not you.
I have always been an activist,
and I'll always be one.
My battles aren't your battles,
and vise versa.
I like politics, from a distance.
See, I'm who I am and not what I am.
I believe there's a good heart in everyone.
How to locate it, that's the problem.
I think we can make a difference if we really
appreciate and value others as equal humans.
I'm not perfect, so is everyone.
How about we embrace our perfect imperfections
and live life while we have it.
I stand for any charity deed,
especially heartfelt and ones kept to one's self.
I believe everyone's story matters.
That when we combine our efforts,
we'll surely give humanity a better face.
See, I believe everyone was meant for a unique purpose.
How about we help one another to discover our callings.
I believe we're who we are because someone else was or is.
I pray to live to see the day when we'll finally
help each other unconditionally.
The day when we will genuinely lift each other up.
Help me help you, it is possible.
