Seeing Others Poem by Safiyyah Manjra

Seeing Others



Life is a journey,
Where everyone travels their own paths exclusively.

It is not a race,
Where everyone is in the same place.
Competing for first place.

I hope that you see this,
Only then will you able to appreciate others in full bliss.

There is only so much one can handle.
Overbearing and being hard to grapple.

Shouldn't be your contribution.
You must snap out of this illusion.

Not everyone who is with you.
Is for you.

It is for you to see people in truth.
So that you may avoid being uncouth.

I must say, I have been told I am quite ahead of my age most of the time. I am guessing that is because I have been placed in quite drastic situations from such a young age. You either grow with the situation or allow it to affect you. I choose to grow and I want to grow.
