Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

Not as Bad

Sometimes
Life hits HARD
too fast to react too strong to take too much to bear and I have to stop and rest
When I do
I realize I wasn't ready
Life was worse
than I thought it'd be

It's so easy
to become jaded
to assume
Life will always be
this bad

Sometimes
Life surprises me
it's soft and calming, gentle and kind, warm and loving
Life is looking out for me
I realize
Life was better
than I thought it'd be

It's so hard
to take Life
one day at a time
But I still have
those moments of kindness
to remind me

That Life isn't always as bad
As I thought it'd be
