Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

Until Kindness Came Along

ADHD kept talking
and Depression began scheming
He mumbled something to Anxiety
and Anxiety started screaming

Happiness couldn't take it
and ran far away
ADHD got desperate
and started listening to hate

He found joy in pain
it made the screaming cease
but nothing lasted forever
they couldn't find their peace

Until Kindness came along
and held Anxiety
the noise died down
and he finally quieted

Kindness smiled at Depression
no matter how Hate protested
And breathed with ADHD
until he finally rested

Sometimes Kindness tires
Sometimes there's too much to take
But Happiness will return
If they don't listen to Hate
