On people

For the remainder of my existence
I wish to meet “non stubborn” people
The ones a little rough around the edges
And kindness in their hearts
I wish to see warm smiles and easy eyes
People who would cry with me when tragedy strikes
But when I spill tea and call me a goof
I wish to meet people who see that too
I wish to have days without worries
Maybe wipe away a few memories
Bad jokes and simple rhymes
I want to change what I mean by good times
I wish to meet people with wisdom and colorful stories
With crazy laughs and heartfelt hugs
People with whom it is easier to be
The travelers and dreamers and forgivers
I want to join the ‘take it easy’ club

I think a lot of times in life, we try to compensate what is missing in ourselves by surrounding us with people who have that.
I am trying, slowly, to find a balance.
Between people I need and people I want to be
I am trying
To be more of – kinder people, nicer people, with softer hearts and gentler minds
